Indoor localization and indoor pedestrian navigation is an active field of research
|
||||
with increasing attention.
|
||||
%
|
||||
As of today, many systems will run on commercial smartphones but most of them still rely on
|
||||
fingerprinting which demands for high setup- and maintenance-times.
|
||||
Alternatives, such as simple signal strength prediction models, provide fast setup times,
|
||||
but often do not provide the accuracy required for use-cases like indoor navigation or
|
||||
location-based services.
|
||||
%
|
||||
While more complex models provide an increased accuracy by including architectural knowledge
|
||||
about walls and other obstacles, they often require additional computation during runtime and
|
||||
demand for prior knowledge during setup.
|
||||
\\%
|
||||
Within this work we will thus focus on simple, easy to set-up models and evaluate their
|
||||
performance compared to real-world measurements. The evaluation ranges from a fully empiric, instant
|
||||
setup, given the transmitter locations are well-known, to a highly-optimized scenario based
|
||||
on some reference measurements within the building. Furthermore, we will propose a new
|
||||
signal strength prediction model as a combination of several simple ones. This tradeoff
|
||||
increases accuracy with only minor additional computations.
|
||||
%
|
||||
All of the optimized models are evaluated within an actual smartphone-based
|
||||
indoor localization system. This system uses the phone's \docWIFI{}, barometer and IMU
|
||||
to infer the pedestrian's current location via recursive density estimation based on particle filtering.
|
||||
\\%
|
||||
We will show that while a \SI{100}{\percent} empiric parameter choice for the model already provides enough
|
||||
accuracy for many use-cases, a small number of reference measurements is enough to dramatically increase
|
||||
such a system's performance.
