We propose an effective ToA-based localization method considering accuracy in indoor environments. The purpose of the localization system is to estimate the coordinates of the geographic location of target device. In indoor environments, accurately estimating the location of a target device is not easy due to various errors. The accuracy of wireless localization is influenced by NLOS errors. ToA-based localization measures the location of a target device using the distances between a mobile device and three or more base stations. However, each of the NLOS errors along a distance estimated from a target device to a base station is different because of dissimilar obstacles. To accurately estimate the target's location, an optimized localization process is needed in indoor environments. In this paper, effective ToA-based localization method process is proposed for improving accuracy in wireless sensor networks. Performance evaluations are presented, and the experimental localization system results are proved through comparisons of various localization methods with the proposed methods.

In this paper, the compensation algorithm for radiodetermination error using a concept of determination coordinator value of equivalent distance rate (CADE) is proposed, and the performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed. As a result of the experiments, CADE improves the performance of the algorithm accuracy about 37.5% and 69.8% each in the inside and outside of 4 beacon nodes. Furthermore, the CADE is 76.3% excellent enough to compensate 2m or more of the radiodetermination error. It also confirms that CADE can be adapted to the wide range by installing only 4 beacon nodes according to the excellence of compensation performance besides the ranges of 4 beacon nodes. From the results, it is strongly considered that the proposed algorithm CADE can be used to the performance enhancement of radiodetermination systems using SDS-TWR.

In this paper, we propose a ultrasonic and RF-based indoor localization system. In previous work, various systems were proposed for indoor localization, but they have limitation in applicability due to time-synchronization, complexity, or accuracy. To overcome such problems, an indoor localization system with ultrasonic and RF is proposed. A transmitting system is composed of a pair of ultrasonic and RF transmitters and the receiving system is composed of multiple ultrasonic receivers and one RF receiver. The theoretical performance limitation is also analyzed. To verify localization performance, we have implemented a receiving systems and a transmitting system using Arduino modules. Experiments were performed in $2m{\times}2m{\times}2m$ space and the localization errors had a mean of 6.1cm and a standard deviation of 1.6cm.

The lenticular Location Based System is related to a location information technology. The system enables users to inform their location in real time wherever in a room, a building, a ship, a basement. In this paper, we analyze limitations and problems of the existing indoor Positioning System and propose a method of user-oriented location service. The proposed method consists of a lenticular sticker, a database(DB) acquisition and analysis technology. The proposed system can be used as an infrastructure to implement various indoor location-based services. In addition to improve user centered positioning accuracy through the development of location-based systems using indoor lenticular systems, it can be used in a disaster situation.

Recently, BLE beacons are widely used in indoor precision positioning systems because of their low battery consumption and low infrastructure cost. However, existing BLE beacon based indoor positioning algorithms are difficult to compensate for position errors due to the user's moving speed. Therefore, we proposed a position error correction algorithm that combines bounced cancellation and minimum distance maintenance algorithm with a positioning error correction method using direction vectors. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm guarantees superior positioning performance than the existing indoor positioning algorithm and also improves the performance of position error compensation.

One of the most fundamental functions required for an intelligent agent is to estimate its current position based upon uncertain sensor data. In this paper, we explain the implementation of a robot localization system using Particle filters, which are the most effective one of the probabilistic localization methods, and then present the result of experiments for evaluating the performance of our system. Through conducting experiments to compare the effect of the noise-free model with that of the noisy state transition model considering inherent errors of robot actions, we show that it can help improve the performance of the Particle filter localization to apply a state transition model closely approximating the uncertainty of real robot actions.

최근 무선랜 기반 실내 측위시스템을 활용하는 위치정보 서비스가 주목을 받고 있다. 기존 측위 방식에서는 주로 삼각측량 기법에 의존하여 사용자 단말의 위치를 측정하고 있으나, 실내 벽 등의 장애물로 인하여 정확한 측위가 어려울 뿐만 아니라 측위 오차가 크다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선랜 기반 실내 측위시스템에서 방(room) 등의 블록(block) 단위로 사용자의 위치를 측정하는 방법을 제시한다. 실험 결과, 제안 방식은 기존 방식에 비해 측위 오차를 50% 이상 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
