Abstract
A position analysis system and method for determining the position of an event sensed by one or more detectors includes detector means having at least one detector for detecting an emission from an event; means, responsive to the detector means, for generating a number of different functions from the outputs of one or more detectors; means for determining the estimated position of the event and the reliability of that estimation from each of the functions; and means for combining all of the estimated positions and all of the reliabilities of those estimated positions to define the best estimate of the position of the event.
