Indoor Localization Based on Integration of Wi-Fi with Geomagnetic and Light Sensors on an Android Device Using a DFF Network
ELECTRONICS(2023)
摘要
Sensor-related indoor localization has attracted considerable attention in recent years. The accuracy of conventional fingerprint solutions based on a single sensor, such as a Wi-Fi sensor, is affected by multipath interferences from other electronic devices that are produced as a result of complex indoor environments. Light sensors and magnetic (i.e., geomagnetic) field sensors can be used to enhance the accuracy of a system since they are less vulnerable to disturbances. In this paper, we propose a deep feedforward (DFF)-neural-network-based method, termed DFF-WGL, which integrates the data from the embedded Wi-Fi sensor, geomagnetic field sensor, and light sensor (WGL) in a smart device to localize the device in an indoor environment. DFF-WGL does not require complex and expensive auxiliary equipment, except for basic fluorescent lamps and low-density Wi-Fi signal coverage, conditions that are easily satisfied in modern offices or educational buildings. The proposed system was implemented on a commercial off-the-shelf android device, and performance was evaluated through an experimental analysis conducted in two different indoor testbeds, one measuring 60.5 m2 and the other measuring 38 m2, with 242 and 60 reference points, respectively. The results indicate that the model prediction with an input consisting of the combination of light, a magnetic field sensor, and two Wi-Fi RSS signals achieved mean localization errors of 0.01 m and 0.04 m in the two testbeds, respectively, compared with any subset of combination of sensors, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed DFF-WGL method.
