WiFi Fingerprint Localization in Open Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, WiFi fingerprint-based localization has received much attention due to its deployment practicability. In this work, we investigate the impact of different indoor environmental factors on the performance of WiFi-fingerprinting. We find that, WiFi-fingerprinting highly depends on the deployed indoor environment. In an open space, it is quite challenging to find spatially varying but temporally stable signatures for adjacent reference locations. To address this issue, we propose a heatmap-based WiFi fingerprinting method (called HMF) by utilizing a period of history location estimations as an additional input to improve WiFi fingerprint localization in open space environment. Our experimental results show, HMF can improve existing WiFi fingerprinting schemes like Radar and Horus by 28% and 80% in moderately open space like wide corridor.

In this work, we propose an approach, based on support vector regression, t...
متن کاملIndoor WiFi Localization with a Dense Fingerprint Model
WiFi-based localization is a popular approach for positioning a WiFi-enabled device in an indoor environment. Most implementations rely on querying fingerprint databases, created by stop and go sampling of WiFi signals at discrete locations used as reference points. In this paper, we propose an approach for rapid creation of a dense WiFi fingerprint database using a human operated ambulatory ba...
