Abstract

Abstract

Fingerprint-based indoor localization technology is attracted extensive attention of researchers with the fusion of crowd-sensing and machine learning. However, existing approaches have the bottleneck of scalability and instantaneity caused by high radio map construction effort. Focusing on this issue, this paper proposes a novel and scalable lightweight radio map construction method, named FFIL. In the fingerprint construction phase, the whole indoor environment is divided into multi-loop to segment map rapidly and fingerprint data are obtained. In the fingerprint matching phase, the distance is calculated from Access Point (AP) to target firstly, and then the reference point is selected on the loop with most similar with the circle radius to match fingerprint data one by one. In the localization phase, contour-based clustering algorithm is used to improve the positioning accuracy. Abundant simulations and experiments are driven by real data show that FFIL can reduce the overhead of constructing radio fingerprint map and improve the positioning accuracy and the real-time performance of system simultaneously.
