The invention particularly relates to a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) indoor positioning method, and aims at resolving the problems that in a traditional Wi-Fi indoor positioning method, a feature information position fingerprint map data base is too large, computation complexity in an on-line positioning phase matching process is high, instantaneity is poor, and the like. The method includes that when a point to be detected receives a wireless signal strength value sent by a wireless connection point, a support vector machine classifier is adopted to position the point to be detected to a corresponding ith subregion, and a position fingerprint map and a feature transformational matrix Ai of the subregion are obtained; and the feature transformational matrix Ai of the ith subregion is adopted to enable the wireless signal strength value of the point to be detected to achieve shiftdim, a d-dimension wireless signal strength value is obtained and matched with the subregion, the weight K-nearest neighbor node algorithm is adopted to forecast position coordinates of the point to be detected, and positioning results are output. The Wi-Fi indoor positioning method is applied to the communication field.
