Shrnutí:The localization of multiple interference sources in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) can be achieved using carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N0) information provided by GNSS receivers, such as those embedded in smartphones. However, in increasingly prevalent complex scenarios—such as the coexistence of multiple directional interferences, increased diversity and density of GNSS interference, and the presence of multiple low-power interference sources—conventional localization methods often fail to provide reliable results, thereby limiting their applicability in real-world environments. This paper presents a multi-interference sources localization method using object detection in GNSS C/N0 distribution maps. The proposed method first exploits the similarity between C/N0 data reported by GNSS receivers and image grayscale values to construct C/N0 distribution maps, thereby transforming the problem of multi-source GNSS interference localization into an object detection and localization task based on image processing techniques. Subsequently, an Oriented Squeeze-and-Excitation-based Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (OSF-RCNN) framework is proposed to process the C/N0 distribution maps. Building upon the Faster R-CNN framework, the proposed method integrates an Oriented RPN (Region Proposal Network) to regress the orientation angles of directional antennas, effectively addressing their rotational characteristics. Additionally, the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) mechanism and the Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) are integrated at key stages of the network to improve sensitivity to small targets, thereby enhancing detection and localization performance for low-power interference sources. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in accurately localizing multiple interference sources under the increasingly prevalent complex scenarios described above.
