DUMMY ABSTRACT. We present an indoor localisation system that integrates different sensor modalities,
namely Wi-Fi, barometer, iBeacons, step- and turn-detection for localisation of pedestrians within buildings
over multiple floors. To model the pedestrian's movement, which is constrained by walls and other obstacles,
we propose a state transition based upon random walks on graphs. \sout{This model also frees us from the burden of
frequently updating the system.}

%This model also frees us from the burden of frequently updating the system.
In addition we make use of barometer information to estimate the current floor.

This can be tackled by making such areas more likely.
Therefore, a novel approach for detecting doors using again the inverted graph and the principal component analysis (PCA) \cite{Hotelling1933} is presented within this work.
Finally, it is now possible to calculate more natural and realistic paths using the weighted graph. We introduce two different methods which make use of the given destination and thereby provide a targeted movement.

To the best of our knowledge, our approach is the first one that uses prior navigation knowledge to increase the localisation results.

Additionally, the sensors noise is not always Gaussian or satisfies the central limit theorem, what makes the
usage of Kalman filters problematic \cite{sarkka2013bayesian, Nurminen2014}.
All this shows, that sensor models differ in many ways and are a subject in itself.

A good discussion on different sensor models can be found in \cite{Yang2015}, \cite{Gu2009} or \cite{Khaleghi2013}.
However, within this work, we use simple models, configured using a handful of parameters and address their inaccuracies by harnessing prior information like the pedestrian's desired destination.

A widely used and easy method for modelling the movement of a pedestrian, is the prediction of a new position
by adding an approximated covered distance to the current position. In most cases, a heading serves as
walking direction. If the connection line \commentByFrank{graph? oder generell?: line-of-sight?} \commentByToni{ganz generell. deshalb nur connection line. line of sight ist ja mehr blickachse oder sichtlinie}

However, as \cite{Nurminen13-PSI} already stated, it "gives more probability to a short step".

An additional drawback of these approaches is that for every transition an intersection-test
must be executed. This can result in a high computational complexity.

The remaining cells are described by its centre and represent all free spaces in the indoor environment.
A graph is defined by using the centres as nodes and connecting direct neighbours with edges.
In order to enable floor changes, some approaches suggest to simply connect the nodes at staircases in a discrete manner \cite{}. However, as mentioned before changing the floor in a discrete does not resemble real-world conditions. Therefore, \cite{} presented a stepwise floor change based on a hexagonal gridded-graph. A similar approach is presented in the here presented approach for a square-shaped grid.

We introduce a similar approach for square-shaped grids.
All this allows a wide range of possibilities for modelling the pedestrian's movement, while only sampling valid locations.
In virtual environments like video games and simulations, the human motion is often modelled using graphs and path finding techniques.
Here, the goal is not only to provide a shortest path, but also the least cost path, most natural path or least dangerous path.
For example \cite{Bandi2000} uses an A* algorithm to search a 3D gridded environment for the shortest path to a goal.
An additional smoothing procedure is performed to make the path more natural.
They are considering foot span, body dimensions and obstacle dimensions when determining whether an obstacle is surmountable.
However, many of those information are difficult to ascertain in real-time or mean additional effort in real-world environments.
Therefore, more realistic simulation models, mainly for evacuation simulation, are just using a simple shortest path on regular tessellated graphs \cite{Sun2011, tan2014agent}. A more costly, yet promising approach is shown by \cite{Brogan2003}. They use a data set of previous recorded walks to create a model of realistic human walking paths.

Finally, it seems that currently none of the localisation system approaches are using realistic walking paths as additional source of information to provide a more targeted and robust movement. Most common systems are sampling a new state only in regard of the user's heading and speed using one of the above mentioned indoor graphs.
