Nowadays RFID indoor targets positioning results display methods are simplified. The positioning results visual effect is also unsatisfied. To solve this problem, we design and realize a comprehensive method to implement RFID indoor localization algorithms in a geographic information system. In our method, the RFID indoor targets positioning results can display in the real geographic environmen...
