Abstract

The invention discloses a mobile terminal-based indoor positioning method and system for WIFI and visual information. The method comprises the following steps of (S1) collecting a WIFI signal at the position near each interior fire safety exit sign, simultaneously shooting an image of each fire safety exit sign and measuring a coordinate of each exit sign in a plane map; (S2) analyzing WIFI information and image information, obtaining an WIFI signal address and signal strength of each exit sign, calculating an SURF feature descriptor of the corresponding image and a homography between a three-dimensional coordinate system and a world coordinate system, and storing a signal strength list, the SURF feature descriptor and the homography of each position into a map database; and (S3) finding out the position with the highest matching degree from the map database according to the signal strength list and the SURF feature descriptor of the current position and determining a specific position of a user by combining the homography of a map image of the corresponding position and a positioning error experience value. A signal base station does not need to be added and the indoor positioning accuracy is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of positioning and navigation, in particular to an indoor positioning method and system based on WIFI and visual information of a mobile terminal.
