To our knowledge, the indoor location system which currently achieves the best performance using inexpensive offthe-shelf equipment locates a mobile within 1.5 meters with probability 77% in hallways. Even while maintaining this accuracy, the system often reports logical errors such as the mobile in the wrong cubicle of an office or even on the wrong side of a wall when broadening the domain of application to within rooms. We propose an extension of the work using the same Markov localization framework, however incorporating system dynamics (necessitating no post-processing of the output) and motion constraints which implicitly encode the physical properties of the survey area. Our system retains the advantages of its predecessor of low cost, wireless LAN connectivity and security, and largescale deployment, however extending the survey area from simple hallways to the whole office environment, while maintaining the same precision without logical errors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
