Fusing passive RFID and BIM for increased accuracy in indoor localization

Passive RFID based Tracking and Localization for Indoor Navigation An Autonomous Passive RFID-Assisted Mobile Robot System for Indoor Positioning

Indoor positioning systems (IPS) locate objects in closed structured such as warehouses, hospitals, libraries, and office building, where Global Positioning System (GPS) typically does not work due to poor satellite reception. Inherently, indoor positioning is a vital challenge facing the industry for a long time. Most of the available IPS operate based on optical tracking, motor encoding, and ...

Leveled indoor localization algorithms based on passive RFID

We propose three indoor localization algorithms, namely the leveled nearest-neighbor, leveled multilateration and leveled Bayesian inference, to locate stationary objects (books, merchandise) by affixing passive RFID tags to them. The algorithms use a number of passive tags deployed on the known coordinates as reference points. The simulation results show that the proposed leveled detectable co...

The Applicability of RFID for Indoor Localization

Although RFID has a relatively long history of more than 50 years in the field of wireless communications, only the last decade it has received a considerable attention for becoming a useful general purpose technology. Actually, RFID was initially developed as an automatic identification system consisting of two basic component types, a reader and a tag (Want, 2006). The reader is able to read ...

The Study on Using Passive RFID Tags for Indoor Positioning

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is the technology that put an RFID tag on objects or people, so that they can be identified, tracked, and managed automatically. With its wide application in the automobile assembly industry, warehouse management and the supply chain network, RFID has been recognized as the next promising technology in serving the positioning purpose. Existing p...
