\section{Recursive State Estimation}
As mentioned before, most smoothing methods require a preceding filtering.
In our previous work \cite{Ebner-16}, we consider indoor localisation as a time-sequential, non-linear and non-Gaussian state estimation problem.
Therefore, a Bayes filter that satisfies the Markov property is used to calculate the posterior, which is given by
%
\begin{equation}
\arraycolsep=1.2pt
\begin{array}{ll}
&p(\mStateVec_{t} \mid \mObsVec_{1:t}) \propto\\
&\underbrace{p(\mObsVec_{t} \mid \mStateVec_{t})}_{\text{evaluation}}
\int \underbrace{p(\mStateVec_{t} \mid \mStateVec_{t-1}, \mObsVec_{t-1})}_{\text{transition}}
\underbrace{p(\mStateVec_{t-1} \mid \mObsVec_{1:t-1})d\vec{q}_{t-1}}_{\text{recursion}} \enspace.
\end{array}
\label{equ:bayesInt}
\end{equation}
%
Here, the previous observation $\mObsVec_{t-1}$ is included into the state transition \cite{Koeping14-PSA}.
For approximating eq. \eqref{equ:bayesInt} by means of MC methods, the transition is used as proposal distribution, also known as CONDENSATION algorithm \cite{isard1998smoothing}.
In context of indoor localisation, the hidden state $\mStateVec$ is defined as follows:
\begin{equation}
\mStateVec = (x, y, z, \mStateHeading, \mStatePressure),\enskip
x, y, z, \mStateHeading, \mStatePressure \in \R \enspace,
\end{equation}
%
where $x, y, z$ represent the position in 3D space, $\mStateHeading$ the user's heading and $\mStatePressure$ the relative atmospheric pressure prediction in hectopascal (hPa). Further, the observation is given by
%
\begin{equation}
\mObsVec = (\mRssiVec_\text{wifi}, \mRssiVec_\text{ib}, \mObsHeading, \mObsSteps, \mObsPressure, x) \enspace,
\end{equation}
%
covering all relevant sensor measurements.
Here, $\mRssiVec_\text{wifi}$ and $\mRssiVec_\text{ib}$ contain the measurements of all nearby \docAP{}s (\docAPshort{}) and \docIBeacon{}s, respectively.
$\mObsHeading$ and $\mObsSteps$ describe the relative angular change and the number of steps detected for the pedestrian.
$\mObsPressure$ is the relative barometric pressure with respect to a fixed reference.
Finally, $x$ \commentByLukas{Vermutlich gerade nur Platzhalter. Aber x ueberschneidet sich mit dem x der Position. Wie waers mit $\Omega$} contains the activity, currently estimated for the pedestrian, which is one of: unknown, standing, walking or walking stairs.
The probability density of the state evaluation is given by
%
\begin{equation}
%\begin{split}
p(\vec{o}_t \mid \vec{q}_t) =
p(\vec{o}_t \mid \vec{q}_t)_\text{baro}
\,p(\vec{o}_t \mid \vec{q}_t)_\text{ib}
\,p(\vec{o}_t \mid \vec{q}_t)_\text{wifi}
\enspace
%\end{split}
\label{eq:evalBayes}
\end{equation}
%
and therefore similar to \cite{Ebner-16}.
Here, we assume a statistical independence of all sensors and every single component refers to a probabilistic sensor model.
The barometer information is evaluated using $p(\vec{o}_t \mid \vec{q}_t)_\text{baro}$, whereby absolute position information is given by $p(\vec{o}_t \mid \vec{q}_t)_\text{ib}$ for \docIBeacon{}s and by $p(\vec{o}_t \mid \vec{q}_t)_\text{wifi}$ for \docWIFI{}.
