  • Abstract
    We present a novel methodology for chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) source localization in urban environments. Our approach uses only information reported by CBRN sensors monitoring the environment and thus does not rely on solving any challenging inverse plume dispersion problems. We illustrate and evaluate our technique using three-dimensional CBRN release simulations.
