Novel, continuous monitoring of fine-scale movement using fixed-position radiotelemetry arrays and random forest location fingerprinting

1. Radio-tag signals from fixed-position antennas are most often used to indicate presence/absence of individuals, or to estimate individual activity levels from signal strength variation within an antenna’s detection zone. The potential of such systems to provide more precise information on tag location and movement has not been explored in great detail in an ecological setting.
2. By reversing the roles that transmitters and receivers play in localization methods common to the telecommunications industry, we present a new telemetric tool for accurately estimating the location of tagged individuals from received signal strength values. The methods used to characterize the study area in terms of received signal strength are described, as is the random forest model used for localization. The resulting method is then validated using test data before being applied to true data collected from tagged individuals in the study site.
3. Application of the localization method to test data with...

1. 固定位置天线接收的无线电标记信号（Radio-tag signals）通常被用于标记个体的存在与否，或是通过天线探测区域内的信号强度变化来估算个体的活动水平。此类系统有望获取标记个体位置与移动的更精准信息，但在生态学场景中尚未得到充分深入的研究。
2. 通过反转电信行业通用定位方法中发射器与接收器的角色，我们提出了一种新型遥测工具，可基于接收信号强度值精准估算标记个体的位置。本文阐述了基于接收信号强度表征研究区域的方法，以及用于定位的随机森林模型（random forest model）。所得方法随后通过测试数据进行验证，再应用于研究场地中标记个体采集的真实数据。
