Predictive based stable and accurate indoor localization
FY 2019-20 · 2019-08-12
Summary
This project will develop a new indoor localization algorithm that further augments our primary value proposition of accurate indoor location and leverages IP previously developed as a result of IRAP supported projects. This algorithm will address fundamental accuracy and stability weaknesses in existing localization techniques based on absolute signal strengths (such as trilateration), while eliminating the logistical and practical shortcomings of newer techniques based on relative signal strengths. Improved accuracy and stability for Wifi-based localization techniques is key to enabling broadly available indoor location services on top of existing IT infrastructure.

Description
This project will develop a new indoor localization algorithm that further augments our primary value proposition of accurate indoor location and leverages IP previously developed as a result of IRAP supported projects. This algorithm will address fundamental accuracy and stability weaknesses in existing localization techniques based on absolute signal strengths (such as trilateration), while eliminating the logistical and practical shortcomings of newer techniques based on relative signal strengths.

Description (French)
Ce projet permettra de développer un nouvel algorithme de localisation à l'intérieur qui vient compléter notre principale proposition de valeur, à savoir la localisation précise à l'intérieur des bâtiments, et qui tire parti de la propriété intellectuelle déjà développée dans le cadre de projets financés par le PARI. Cet algorithme s'attaquera aux faiblesses fondamentales de précision et de stabilité des techniques de localisation existantes basées sur la force absolue des signaux (comme la trilatération), tout en éliminant les lacunes logistiques et pratiques des techniques plus récentes basées sur la force relative des signaux. L'amélioration de la précision et de la stabilité des techniques de localisation Wifi est essentielle pour permettre la mise en place de services de localisation en intérieur largement disponibles, en plus de l'infrastructure informatique existante.
