Aiming at the problem of high cost of cable layout and poor maintenance in traditional radioactive pollution monitoring for uranium tailings, considering banded dam and little node connectivity, a weight optimized centroid localization algorithm is proposed. Under different index, by comparing the positioning accuracy and the influence of the external disturbance, new algorithm changes the index of weight and measured distance -1 to -1.5, resulting in an accuracy improvement in long distance. Simulation demonstrated that compared with centroid localization algorithm and maximum likelihood esti...
