Collaborative WiFi Fingerprinting Using Sensor-Based Navigation on Smartphones

چکیده
This paper presents a method that trains the WiFi fingerprint database using sensor-based navigation solutions. Since micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors provide only a short-term accuracy but suffer from the accuracy degradation with time, we restrict the time length of available indoor navigation trajectories, and conduct post-processing to improve the sensor-based navigation solution. Different middle-term navigation trajectories that move in and out of an indoor area are combined to make up the database. Furthermore, we evaluate the effect of WiFi database shifts on WiFi fingerprinting using the database generated by the proposed method. Results show that the fingerprinting errors will not increase linearly according to database (DB) errors in smartphone-based WiFi fingerprinting applications.

Indoor localization method comparison: Fingerprinting and Trilateration algorithm
Enhanced Positioning Systems (EPS) are able to supplement Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in indoor environments where GPS cannot work because of disrupted or weak signals. Most EPS are Wifi-based because Wifi is a common technology available in many indoor environments and is deployed in cost effective manner. Fingerprinting and Trilateration are the two general methods used for calculating p...
متن کاملWeighted Fingerprinting Localization based on a Multichannel WiFi Map
WiFi localization based on fingerprinting method became popular during last decade. However, collecting information to construct a WiFi signal map is challenging due to high cost. We assume that it is possible to gather such information with cheap cost using crowd sourcing with smartphones. Each user’s current location is estimated by either GPS, WiFi, radio cell signals or manually set by the ...
متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
متن کاملPDR/INS/WiFi Integration Based on Handheld Devices for Indoor Pedestrian Navigation
Providing an accurate and practical navigation solution anywhere with portable devices, such as smartphones, is still a challenge, especially in environments where global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signals are not available or are degraded. This paper proposes a new algorithm that integrates inertial navigation system (INS) and pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) to combine the advantages ...
متن کاملWiFi-Aided Magnetic Matching for Indoor Navigation with Consumer Portable Devices
This paper presents a WiFi-aided magnetic matching (MM) algorithm for indoor pedestrian navigation with consumer portable devices. This algorithm reduces both the mismatching rate (i.e., the rate of matching to an incorrect point that is more than 20 m away from the true value) and computational load of MM by using WiFi positioning solutions to limit the MM search space. Walking tests with Sams...
