The problem of localization can be simplified by assuming a person navigation. To improve the complex problem of localising a person indoors, prior knowledge given by a pedestrian navigation can be used.

\commentByFrank{die aktuelle post ist nicht vorher bekannt, jedenfalls verwenden wir es nicht so} By incorporating this prior knowledge into the state transition step, a new state can be sampled in a more targeted manner.
However, for regular tessellated (grid) graphs, as used in \cite{Ebner-15}, this often leads to paths running very unnatural alongside walls.
Therefore, we present a method that detects walls using the inverted graph (representing walls and obstacles) and a nearest-neighbour search.
Regarding a graph-based transition model, one could suggest to calculate the shortest path In order to express that areas near walls are less likely to be chosen for walking, a probabilistic weight is assigned to every node of the graph.
