Engineering
- Localization, also called positioning or navigation, is a technique for determining one's position accurately on the surface of earth. Sometimes localization is considered as a part of the navigation problem that provides orientation and routing information in addition to just location.
- Radio Localization and Radio Navigation, passive and active localization techniques using radio waves.
- Satellite Localization, a positioning and navigation technique aided by satellites, e.g. GPS.
- Indoor Localization, a positioning technique for indoor environments.
- GSM localization, a technique for determining the location of a user of a cell phone or wireless transceiver
- Robot localization, figuring out robot's position in an environment
- Sound localization, a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound or the methods in acoustical engineering to simulate the placement of an auditory cue in a virtual 3D space

Famous quotes containing the word engineering:
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
