Sensors-based and radio frequency (RF)-based indoor localization technology is one of the keys in location-based services. The IEEE 802.11-2016 introduced the Wi-Fi fine timing measurement (FTM) protocol, which provides a new approach for Wi-Fi-based indoor localization. However, Wi-Fi signals are susceptible to complex indoor environments. To improve the positioning accuracy and stability, an enhanced particle filter (PF) with two different state update strategies, a new criterion for divergence monitoring and rapid re-initialization is proposed to integrate the advantages of pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) and Wi-Fi FTM. In addition, an adaptive tilt compensation is proposed to improve real-time heading estimation of conventional PDR, and the Wi-Fi FTM outliers are detected by displacement estimation of the PDR. The experimental results show that the proposed PF has better localization performance than the single source positioning methods in a typical indoor scenario. The accuracy of final localization is within 1 m in 86.7% of the dynamic cases and the average calculation time is less than 0.5 s when the number of particles is 2000.
