WiFi-SLAM Using Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
WiFi localization, the task of determining the physical location of a mobile device from wireless signal strengths, has been shown to be an accurate method of indoor and outdoor localization and a powerful building block for location-aware applications. However, most localization techniques require a training set of signal strength readings labeled against a ground truth location map, which is prohibitive to collect and maintain as maps grow large. In this paper we propose a novel technique for solving the WiFi SLAM problem using the Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model (GPLVM) to determine the latent-space locations of unlabeled signal strength data. We show how GPLVM, in combination with an appropriate motion dynamics model, can be used to reconstruct a topological connectivity graph from a signal strength sequence which, in combination with the learned Gaussian Process signal strength model, can be used to perform efficient localization.

Stochastic Variational Inference for Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models using Back Constraints
Gaussian process latent variable models (GPLVMs) are a probabilistic approach to modelling data that employs Gaussian process mapping from latent variables to observations. This paper revisits a recently proposed variational inference technique for GPLVMs and methodologically analyses the optimality and different parameterisations of the variational approximation. We investigate a structured va...

Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...

Latent Gaussian models are flexible models that are applied in several statistical applications. When posterior marginals or full conditional distributions in hierarchical Bayesian inference from these models are not available in closed form, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are implemented. The component dependence of the latent field usually causes increase in computational time and divergenc...

Latent Dirichlet Allocation models discrete data as a mixture of discrete distributions, using Dirichlet beliefs over the mixture weights. We study a variation of this concept, in which the documents’ mixture weight beliefs are replaced with squashed Gaussian distributions. This allows documents to be associated with elements of a Hilbert space, admitting kernel topic models (KTM), modelling te...

We investigate a nonparametric model with which to visualize the relationship between two datasets. We base our model on Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models (GPLVM)[1],[2], a probabilistically defined latent variable model which takes the alternative approach of marginalizing the parameters and optimizing the latent variables; we optimize a latent variable set for each dataset, which preser...
