Abstract

An indoor location-based service cannot be realized unless the indoor positioning problem is solved. However, the cost-effective indoor positioning systems are suffering from their inaccurateness. This paper proposes a map information-based correction method for the indoor positioning systems. Using our Kalman filter with map information-based appropriate parameter values, our method estimates the track of the moving object, then it performs the Frechet Distance-based map matching on the obtained track. After that it applies our real time correction method. In order to verify efficiency of our method, we also provide our test results.

옥내 위치 기반 서비스를 실현하려면 옥내 측위 문제가 해결되어야 한다. 경제적으로 구현이 용이한 옥내 측위 시스템은 비교적 오차가 크다. 본 논문은 지도 정보를 반영한 옥내 측위 시스템용 보정 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 지도 정보를 이용하여 구한 적당한 인수 값을 사용하는 칼만 필터를 이용하여 이동 객체의 궤적을 구하고, 프레쉐 거리를 이용한 지도 정합을 수행한 다음, 실시간 보정 방법을 적용한다. 제안하는 방법의 효율성을 보이는 실험 결과로 제공한다.
