Popis: In practical application, existing two-point magnetic gradient tensor (MGT) localization methods have a maximum detection distance of only 2.5 m, and the magnetic moment vectors of measured targets are all unknown. In order to realize remote, real-time localization, a new two-point magnetic localization method based on self-developed, ultra-sensitive superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometers and MGT invariants is proposed. Both the magnetic moment vector and the relative position vector can be directly calculated based on the linear positioning model, and a quasi-Newton optimization algorithm is adopted to further improve the interference suppression capability. The simulation results show that the detection distance of the proposed method can reach 500 m when the superconducting MGT measurement system is used. Compared with Nara’s single-point tensor (NSPT) method and Xu’s two-point tensor (XTPT) method, the proposed method produces the smallest relative localization error (i.e., significantly less than 1% in the non-positioning blind area) without sacrificing real-time characteristics. The causes of and solutions to the positioning blind area are also analyzed. The equivalent experiments, which were conducted with a detection distance of 10 m, validate the effectiveness of the localization method, yielding a minimum relative localization error of 4.5229%.
