%historie des smoothings und entwicklung der methoden.
The origin of MC smoothing can be traced back to Genshiro Kitagawa.
In his work \cite{kitagawa1996monte} he presented the simplest form of smoothing as an extension to the particle filter.
This algorithm is often called the filter-smoother since it runs online and a smoothing is provided while filtering.

This approach uses the particle filter steps to update weighted paths $\{(W^i_t, \vec{X}_{1:t}^i)\}^N_{i=1}$, producing an accurate approximation of the filtering posterior $p(\vec{q}_{t} \mid \vec{o}_{1:t})$ with a computational complexity of only $\mathcal{O}(N)$.
However, it gives a poor representation of previous states due to a monotonic decrease of distinct particles caused by resampling of each weighted path \cite{Doucet11:ATO}.

In recent years, smoothing got attention mainly in other areas than indoor localisation.
In recent years, smoothing attracted attention mainly in areas other than indoor localisation.
The early work of \cite{isard1998smoothing} demonstrates the possibilities of smoothing for visual tracking.
They used a combination of the CONDENSATION particle filter with a forward-backward smoother.
Based on this pioneering approach, many different solutions for visual and multi-target tracking have been developed \cite{Perez2004}.
For example, in \cite{Platzer:2008} a particle smoother is used to reduce multimodalities in a blood flow simulation for human vessels. The authors of \cite{Hu2014} use a smoother to overcoming the problem of particle impoverishment while predicting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of equipment (e.g. a Lithium-ion battery).

%smoothing im bezug auf indoor
Nevertheless, there are some promising approaches for indoor localisation systems as well.
For example \cite{Nurminen2014} deployed a fixed-interval forward-backward smoother to improve the position estimation for non-real-time applications.
They combined \docWIFI{}, step and turn detection, a simple line-of-sight model for floor plan restrictions and the barometric change within a particle filter.
The state transition samples a new state based on the heading change, altitude change and a fixed step length.
The experiments of \cite{Nurminen2014} clearly emphasize the benefits of smoothing techniques. The estimation error could be decreased significantly.

However, a fixed-lag smoother was discussed only in theory.
In the work of \cite{Paul2009} both fixed-interval and fixed-lag smoothing were presented.
They implemented \docWIFI{}, binary infrared motion sensors, binary foot-switches and a potential field for floor plan restrictions.
Those sensors were incorporated using a sigma-point Kalman filter in combination with a forward-backward smoother.
It was also proven by \cite{Paul2009}, that the fixed-lag smoother is slightly less accurate than the fixed-interval smoother, as one would expect from the theoretical foundation.
Unfortunately, even a sigma-point Kalman filters is after all just a linearisation and therefore not as flexible and suited for the complex problem of indoor localisation as a non-linear estimator like a particle filter.

The here presented approach will use two different smoothing algorithm, both implemented as fixed-interval and fixed-lag versions.
Further, our localisation system presented in \cite{Ebner-16} enables us to walk stairs and thus going into the third dimension.
Therefore, a regularly tessellated graph is utilised to avoid walls, detecting doors and recognizing stairs.

Therefore, a regularly tessellated graph is utilised to avoid walls, detecting doors and recognising stairs.
Within this work, this is additionally supported by a simple classification that detects the activities unknown, standing, walking and walking stairs.
%Finally, we incorporate prior navigation knowledge by using syntactically calculated realistic human walking paths \cite{Ebner-16}.
%This method makes use of the given destination and thereby provides a more targeted movement.
