Bayesian Parameter Estimation for Localizing a Radioactive Source in a Heterogeneous Urban Environment

Probabilistic Estimation for Localizing a Radioactive Source in an Urban Setting

This dissertation, from NC State University, develops a Bayesian parameter estimation method to locate a radioactive source in a complex urban setting. The approach accounts for the heterogeneous environment, improving localization accuracy compared to traditional methods. The work is part of the Nuclear Engineering program and was advised by John Mattingly and others.
