Automating Passport Localization Process Based on WLST-RFID Algorithm

Abstract

The electronic-passport is majorly used in worldwide. Many countries have started changing their conventional passports to electronic-passports due to upgraded security of the passport holder. Passports and any document probably enhanced using recent technology advancements - Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for e-passports. The e-Passport is one of the important identification system of these applications of RFID, where the number of forged passports is increasing worldwide. It is great importance to examine a policy regarding to these information of the passport holder according to electronic approaches and developments, which are moving toward electronic data storage that focuses on the localization techniques. In this paper, we propose Weighted Least Squares Techniques (WLST) of generalized least squares that specifically estimate the accuracies of different measurements of the Passport Position (PP) to obtain a better estimation in airports. This algorithm achieves greater robustness results for accuracy in localization and tracking with a very limited in computational cost.
