Real-time indoor positioning using range imaging sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers a novel indoor positioning method that is currently under development at the ETH Zurich. The method relies on a digital spatio-semantic interior building model CityGML and a Range Imaging sensor. In contrast to common indoor positioning approaches, the procedure presented here does not require local physical reference infrastructure, such as WLAN hot spots or reference markers.

Improvement of the Effective Components in the PDR Positioning Method Based on Detecting the User’s Movement Mode Using Smartphone Sensors
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and improve the accuracy of indoor positioning using smartphone sensors based on Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) method. In some specific situations, such as fires or power outages that disable infrastructure-based positioning techniques, using PDR method based on smartphone sensors that perform positioning continuously is a good solution.This paper focu...
متن کاملDemonstration of a Realtime Active-Tag RFID, Java Based Indoor Localization System using Particle Filtering
To develop and demonstrate accurate indoor pedestrian navigation, we implemented a flexible location framework which is able to use various sensors as positioning sources. In the current setup, the main positioning data is derived from an active long range RFID system which collects RSS values from various RFID tags in the environment. The position is calculated using particle filtering algorit...
متن کاملIPS - Indoor Positioning System with Wireless Sensors
Recent developments in the area of ubiquitous and pervasive computing emphasize the interest in context-aware applications. Location is probably the most important context. Indoor location estimation and tracking remains challenging due to the lack of usable and cost-effective technologies. GPS has proved itself for outdoor usage, but it is not suitable for indoor applications due to poor cover...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of a Combined WLAN & Inertial Indoor Pedestrian Positioning System
In this paper we have presented an indoor positioning system for pedestrians combining Wireless LAN fingerprinting with foot mounted inertial and magnetometer sensors. To achieve a system capable of real-time processing we have employed a hierarchical Bayesian filtering approach using cascaded extended Kalman filters. The accuracy of the combined system was quantitatively evaluated in a real bu...
متن کاملIntegrated WiFi/PDR/Smartphone Using an Unscented Kalman Filter Algorithm for 3D Indoor Localization
Because of the high calculation cost and poor performance of a traditional planar map when dealing with complicated indoor geographic information, a WiFi fingerprint indoor positioning system cannot be widely employed on a smartphone platform. By making full use of the hardware sensors embedded in the smartphone, this study proposes an integrated approach to a three-dimensional (3D) indoor posi...
