Indoor Positioning System

The use of smartphones for accurate navigation in underground spaces, such as subway stations, poses several challenges. This is because it is difficult to obtain a sure estimate of user location due to the radio signal interference caused by the entry and exit of trains, the infrastructure of the subway station installation, and changes in the internal facility environment. This study uses quick response markers and augmented reality to solve these difficulties using an error correction method. Specifically, a hybrid marker-based indoor positioning system (HMIPS) which provides accurate and efficient user-tracking results is proposed. The HMIPS performs hybrid localization by using marker images as well as inertial measurement unit data from smartphones. It utilizes the Viterbi tracking algorithm to solve the problem of tracking accuracy degradation that may occur when inertial sensors are used by adopting a sensor error correction technique. In addition, as an integrated system, the HMIPS provides a tool to easily carry out all the steps necessary for positioning. The results of experiments conducted in a subway station environment confirm that the HMIPS provides accurate and practical navigation services. The proposed system is expected to be useful for indoor navigation, even in poor indoor positioning environments.

Indoor Positioning System

Wi-Fi round-trip timing (RTT) was applied to indoor positioning systems based on distance estimation. RTT has a higher reception instability than the received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-based fingerprint in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments with many obstacles, resulting in large positioning errors due to multipath fading. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose high-precision RTT-based indoor positioning system using an RTT compensation distance network (RCDN) and a region proposal network (RPN). The proposed method consists of a CNN-based RCDN for improving the prediction accuracy and learning rate of the received distances and a recurrent neural network-based RPN for real-time positioning, implemented in an end-to-end manner. The proposed RCDN collects and corrects a stable and reliable distance prediction value from each RTT transmitter by applying a scanning step to increase the reception rate of the TOF-based RTT with unstable reception. In addition, the user location is derived using the fingerprint-based location determination method through the RPN in which division processing is applied to the distances of the RTT corrected in the RCDN using the characteristics of the fast-sampling period.
