Automatic Construction of Wi-fi Radio Map Using Smartphones

چکیده
Indoor positioning could provide interesting services and applications. As one of the most popular indoor positioning methods, location fingerprinting determines the location of mobile users by matching the received signal strength (RSS) which is location dependent. However, fingerprinting-based indoor positioning requires calibration and updating of the fingerprints which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a visual-based approach for the construction of radio map for anonymous indoor environments without any prior knowledge. This approach collects multi-sensors data, e.g. video, accelerometer, gyroscope, Wi-Fi signals, etc., when people (with smartphones) walks freely in indoor environments. Then, it uses the multi-sensor data to restore the trajectories of people based on an integrated structure from motion (SFM) and image matching method, and finally estimates location of sampling points on the trajectories and construct Wi-Fi radio map. Experiment results show that the average location error of the fingerprints is about 0.53m.

متن کاملSystems and Methods For Calibration-On-Demand of Wi-Fi Indoor Positioning System using Smartphones
One of the best strategies for radio map management is to reduce the amount of re-calibration to a necessity-based level that we only recalibrate when the system degrades. We observe that the performance of Wi-Fi IPS plummets only when its radio map undergoes substantial and long-term deviation from the original state. Such deviations are mainly infrastructural or environmental abnormity, which...
