摘要:
Suppose that a group of animals moves from an unknown location to a particular area. Their migration cannot be seen, but at each spot of this particular area it is possible to estimate the arrival time of the animals by continual observation. Designs for allocating the observation stations to obtain a desirable estimate of the direction angle along which the animals move into this area are discussed. This problem arose from lobster research. Since lobsters move undetected on the sea floor, we can determine their movement only by placing a few trap locations in the sea.
