Abstract

Indoor/outdoor localization topic has gained a significant research interest due to the wide range of potential applications. Commonly, the Fingerprinting methods for spatial characterization of the environments monitored are employed in deterministic/statistical estimation. However, there are Fingerprint parameters that are generally neglected and can seriously affect the performance yielding to low accurate location. Nowadays, machine and deep learning (DL) methods are employed in this topic due to its ability to approximate complex non-linear models being capable of mitigating the undesirable effects of wireless propagation. In this paper, a complete overview of most influential aspects in Fingerprinting and indoor tracking methods is presented. Furthermore, a novel multi-modal complete tracking system, called SWiBluX, based on statistic and DL techniques is presented. The system relies on relevant feature extraction from available data sources to estimate user's/target indoor position using a multi-phase statistical Fingerprint and DL disruptive approach. In addition, a Gaussian outlier filter is applied to the position estimation model output to further reduce the error in the estimation. The set of experiments performed shows that Fingerprint positioning accuracy estimation can be improved up to 45% resulting in a final estimation error that outperforms related literature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
