A Distributed Indoor Localization Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
We outline in the sequel a modular indoor positioning framework. The solution consists of a ranging component, an algorithm component and a coordinator connecting the latter to the hardware. The front and back ends may be distributed among one or more systems. For the purpose of this competition our energy efficient 802.15.4 hardware is used: five fixed anchors and one or more mobile tags. Euclidean distances are estimated from phase offset measurements between the anchors and the mobile tag. Current positions are computed using the Super MDS algorithm on the measured distances. Finally, results are visualized on a mobile application in real time.

An Open-source Framework for Smartphone-based Indoor Localization
In the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) scenario, indoor localization represents one of the main pillars for the development of contextaware applications. In this context, comparing and testing indoor positioning system is a hot topic in the indoor localization research community. In fact, after several years algorithms and methods have been developed and matured, no general frameworks exist yet t...
متن کاملThe iNAV Indoor Navigation System
COMPASS is a location framework where location sources are realized as plugins that contribute probability density functions to the overall localization result. In addition, COMPASS uses a decentralized location-based service discovery based on Peer-2-Peer distributed hashtables to retrieve semantical data on the determined position. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of COMPASS as a locali...

متن کاملPerformance evaluation of graded precision localization with sensor networks in indoor spaces
Modalities other than GPS need to be employed to localize mobile sensor-node-enabled subjects in indoor conditions. The location of some mobile nodes needs to be computed precisely while this may not be essential for the remaining nodes. We have proposed the concept of graded precision localization which allows mobile nodes to localize themselves to heterogeneous precision levels in a common fr...
متن کاملA Model Independent and User-Friendly Querying System for Indoor Spaces
Querying indoor information has become important with increasing demand for indoor pervasive applications in vogue. A number of applications have been developed like indoor navigation, localization etc., which work on the modeled indoor data. Different models like geometric, spatial and topological models exist for the indoor space. Existing query languages are model specific, and not user frie...
