Abstract Indoor localization systems are crucial in addressing the limitations of traditional global positioning system (GPS) in indoor environments due to signal attenuation issues. As complex indoor spaces become more sophisticated, indoor localization systems become essential for improving user experience, safety, and operational efficiency. Indoor localization methods based on Wi-Fi fingerprints require a high-density location fingerprint database, but this can increase the computational burden in the online phase. Bayesian networks, which integrate prior knowledge or domain expertise, are an effective solution for accurately determining indoor user locations. These networks use probabilistic reasoning to model relationships among… More >

Abstract Indoor positioning and localization have emerged as a potential research area during the last few years owing to the wide proliferation of smartphones and the inception of location-attached services for the consumer industry. Due to the importance of precise location information, several positioning technologies are adopted such as Wi-Fi, ultrawideband, infrared, radio frequency identification, Bluetooth beacons, pedestrian dead reckoning, and magnetic field, etc. Although Wi-Fi and magnetic field-based positioning are more attractive concerning the deployment of Wi-Fi access points and ubiquity of magnetic field data, the latter is preferred as it does not require any… More >

Abstract An indoor trajectory is the path of an object moving through corridors and stairs inside a building. There are various types of technologies that can be used to reconstruct the path of a moving object and detect its position. GPS has been used for reconstruction in outdoor environments, but for indoor environments, mobile devices with embedded sensors are used. An accelerometer sensor and a magnetometer sensor are used to detect human movement and reconstruct the trajectory on a single floor. In an indoor environment, there are many activities that will create the trajectory similar to… More >
