Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of moving object localization using Ultra-Wide-Band(UWB) range measurement and the method of location accuracy improvement of the indoor moving object. Unlike outdoor environment, it is difficult to track moving object position due to various noises in indoor. UWB is a radio technology that has attention for localization applications recently. UWB's ranging technique offer the cm accuracy. Its capabilities for data transmission, range accurate estimation and material penetration are suitable technology for indoor positioning application. This paper propose a positioning algorithm of an moving object using UWB ranging technique and particle filter. Existing positioning algorithms eliminate estimation errors and bias after location estimation of mobile object. But in this paper, the proposed algorithm is that eliminate predictable UWB range distance error first and then estimate the moving object's position. This paper shows that the proposed positioning algorithm is more accurate than existing location algorithms through experiments. In this study, the position of moving object is estimated after the triangulation and eliminating the bias and the ranging error from estimation range between three fixed known anchors and a mobile object using UWB. Finally, a particle filter is used to improve on accuracy of mobile object positioning. The results of experiment show that the proposed localization scheme is more precise under the indoor.

본 논문에서는 Ultra-Wide-Band(UWB) 영역 측정을 활용한 이동객체 위치추정과 이동객체 위치정확도를 개선하기 위한 방법을 논한다. 실외환경과는 달리 실내에서는 여러 가지 노이즈로 인해 이동객체의 위치추적이 어렵다. UWB는 최근 위치추적 응용에서 주목을 받고 있는 라디오 기술이다. UWB의 영역측정 기술은 cm 수준의 정확도를 제공한다. UWB의 데이터 전송과 정밀한 영역측정, 물질관통의 특성은 실내위치추적 응용에 적합하다. 본 논문은 UWB 영역 기술과 파티클 필터를 이용한 이동객체의 위치추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 위치추정 알고리즘들은 이동객체의 위치추정을 한 후에 예상되는 오차와 bias 값을 제거하였다. 그러나 이 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 먼저 예상되는 UWB 영역 거리 오차를 제거하고 난 후에 이동객체의 위치를 추정한다. 본 논문에서는 제안 알고리즘이 기존 이동객체의 위치 추정 후 오차를 제거하는 방식보다 위치정밀도가 좋아졌음을 실험을 통하여 보였다. 본 연구에서는 UWB를 이용하여 고정되어 있고 위치를 알고 있는 세 앵커들과 이동객체 간의 추정 거리로부터 bias값과 반복 영역 오차 값을 제거한 후 삼각측량을 하여 이동객체의 위치를 추정하였다. 마지막으로 파티클 필터를 사용하여 이동객체의 위치 정밀도 개선을 한다. 실험 결과는 제안 위치추정 방식이 실내 환경에서 더 정밀함을 보인다.
