Towards an Indoor Location System using Indoor-light as Information Source
نویسندگان
چکیده
The location of individuals is a key element for commercial and assistive location-based applications. Since the Global Positioning System, the most effective technology for positioning a mobile object in the outdoors does not work in indoor environments. Several technological approaches have been proposed to tackle this problem. In this paper, we present an alternative approach based on the use of indoor lighting variations, feature extraction of the signal and a deterministic selection to get a model in order to estimate localization of an individual in indoor environments.

Indoor air quality monitoring in urban areas using Smart Sensing Technology
Recently, indoor air quality has attracted the attention of policymakers and researchers as a critical issue like that of external air pollution. Indoor air quality is more important as people spend time longer indoors than outdoors. Indoor environments are closed compared to external environments providing less opportunity for the pollutants to dilute. The emissions contain many substances tha...
متن کاملAn Indoor Positioning System Based on Wi-Fi for Energy Management in Smart Buildings
To offer indoor services to occupants in the context of smart buildings, it is necessary to consider information concerning to the identity and location of the occupants. This paper proposes an indoor positioning system (IPS) based on Wi-Fi fingerprint and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) method. The positioning of a mobile device (MD) using Wi-Fi technology involves online and offline phases. In this...
متن کاملInfrastructure-Less Indoor Localization Using the Microphone, Magnetometer and Light Sensor of a Smartphone
In this paper, we present the development of an infrastructure-less indoor location system (ILS), which relies on the use of a microphone, a magnetometer and a light sensor of a smartphone, all three of which are essentially passive sensors, relying on signals available practically in any building in the world, no matter how developed the region is. In our work, we merge the information from th...
متن کاملDOLPHIN: An Autonomous Indoor Positioning System in Ubiquitous Computing Environment
Determining physical location of indoor objects is one of the key issues in development of context-aware applications in ubiquitous computing environment. This is mainly because context information obtained from sensor network is meaningful only when the physical location of context information source is determined. Recently, several indoor location information systems, such as Active Bat[1] an...
متن کاملGenerating an Indoor space routing graph using semantic-geometric method
The development of indoor Location-Based Services faces various challenges that one of which is the method of generating indoor routing graph. Due to the weaknesses of purely geometric methods for generating indoor routing graphs, a semantic-geometric method is proposed to cover the existing gaps in combining the semantic and geometric methods in this study. The proposed method uses the CityGML...
