Indoor positioning method based on WiFi

Abstract

The invention relates to an indoor positioning method based on WiFi, which comprises the following steps of: in an offline stage, acquiring fingerprint vectors of N reference point positions in an indoor positioning area, and storing the fingerprint information of the N reference points into a fingerprint database DB; roughly positioning at an online stage, namely determining a target floor; utilizing the K-means algorithm to carry out clustering analysis on the sub-fingerprint libraries DBjk of the corresponding floors, and further dividing positioning sub-regions; in the real-time positioning stage, firstly, carrying out AP selection, and then using a KNN classification algorithm for determining a sub-region where a target is located; and finally, finding out K nearest neighbors, and estimating the position (x, y) of the target in a weighted average mode. According to the method, for a large-range indoor positioning scene, the intensity information of all APs is reserved; for indoorfloor positioning, an SVM classifier is used, an encoder is added to a classifier model, the data dimension is reduced through introduction of the encoder, redundant information and noise interferenceare effectively reduced, and the classification precision is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of location services in an indoor environment, in particular to a WiFi-based indoor positioning method. Background technique [0002] With the development of urbanization, the density of urban buildings continues to increase, and various high-rise buildings stand everywhere. As the scale of buildings such as underground parking lots, large shopping centers, and hospital buildings expands, people's demand for LBS services is increasing. Although GPS and other technologies can solve problems such as outdoor positioning and navigation and route query, it is difficult to extend it to the indoor environment. With the rapid development of wireless local area networks, the continuous construction of public network infrastructure, and the rapid popularization of various smart terminal devices, the advantages of WiFi-based indoor positioning systems in terms of cost, accuracy, and coverage are more obvious, and are w...
