abstract = {This work studies the feasibility of a novel two-step algorithm for infrastructure and
object positioning, using pairwise distances. The proposal is based on the optimization algorithms,
Scaling-by-Majorizing-a-Complicated-Function and the Limited-Memory-Broyden-Fletcher-
Goldfarb-Shannon. A qualitative evaluation of these algorithms is performed for 3D positioning.
As the final stage, smoothing filtering techniques are applied to estimate the trajectory, from the
previously obtained positions. This approach can also be used as a synthetic gesture data generator
framework. This framework is independent from the hardware and can be used to simulate the
estimation of trajectories from noisy distances gathered with a large range of sensors by modifying
the noise properties of the initial distances. The framework is validated, using a system of ultrasound
transceivers. The results show this framework to be an efficient and simple positioning and filtering
approach, accurately reconstructing the real path followed by the mobile object while maintaining
low latency. Furthermore, these capabilities can be exploited by using the proposed algorithms for
synthetic data generation, as demonstrated in this work, where synthetic ultrasound gesture data
are generated.},
