Indoor Positioning System using LED Lights and a Dual Image Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, along with the rapid development of LED technology, indoor positioning systems based on visible light communication (VLC) have been researched. In this paper, we propose an accurate indoor positioning method using white-light LEDs and a dual image sensor. Indoor LED lights are located at the ceiling in a room and broadcast information on their positions using VLC technology. A mobile device with a dual image sensor receives LED position information by VLC and estimates its position and azimuth angle. Simulation and experimental results are given to show the performance of the proposed indoor positioning system.

Indoor Location Estimation Using Visible Light Communication and Image Sensors
High power white LEDs are expected to replace the existing lighting technologies in near future which are also suggested for visible light communication (VLC). We proposed an algorithm for high precision indoor positioning using lighting LEDs, VLC and image sensors. In the proposed algorithm, four LEDs transmitted their three-dimensional coordinate information which were received and demodulate...
متن کاملPassive Localization with Visible Light
Indoor localization is a topic of significant interest for academic and industrial. For outdoors, we have Global Positioning System (GPS) working very well, but GPS does not work indoors and we spend more than 90% of the time indoors. Thus, there is a great need to find solution for this problem. Many technologies have been proposed for indoor localization based on radio frequency, infrared and...
