Commercialized location estimation System with high accuracy is widely used for various services. However, if the systems aren't completely installed in an indoor, location estimation accuracy tend to be very poor. In this paper, indoor location estimation algorithm to improve the accuracy of object location, by correcting the location information obtained from a system that does not fully install, is proposed. In this paper, UWB-based Ubisense system that provides high position accuracy in an indoor environment was utilized. In conclusion, this paper was able to improve the positioning accuracy, by correcting that information about the location of the measured object in position estimation system.

Recently utilizing GPS (Global Positioning System) technology has become the research in progress to improve the accuracy. However, if you encounter problems when you receive a satellite signal reception accuracy it is also significantly lowered. In this paper, we designed a system that combines the GPS technology and the GIS (Geographic Information System) technology, which provides information about the specified location to increase the accuracy. Compare the specified location and the user's location information to determine whether the user enters for the location. Accordingly, is utilized by the GIS technique considered to make improve the accuracy of the location information even when there is interference in the received satellite signal, the user receives a service specified location.

The purpose of this research is to accurately estimate the location of a device using the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of IEEE 802.11 WLAN for location tracking in indoor environments. For the location estimation method, we adopted the calibration model. By applying the Adaptive Zone Based K-NNSS (AZ-NNSS) algorithm, which considers the velocity of devices, this paper presents a 9% improvement of accuracy compared to the existing K-NNSS-based research, with 37% of the K-NNSS computation load. The accuracy is further enhanced by using a Kalman filter; the improvement was about 24%. This research also shows the level of accuracy that can be achieved by replacing a subset of the calibration data with values computed by a numerical equation, and suggests a reasonable number of calibration points. In addition, we use both the mean error distance (MED) and hit ratio to evaluate the accuracy of location estimation, while avoiding a biased comparison.

In this paper, a novel method called location-based delivery (LBD), which combines the short message service (SMS) and global position system (GPS), is proposed, and further, a realistic system for tracking a target's movement is developed. LBD reduces the number of short message transmissions while maintaining the location tracking accuracy within the acceptable range. The proposed approach, LBD, consists of three primary features: Short message format, location prediction, and dynamic threshold. The defined short message format is proprietary. Location prediction is performed by using the current location, moving speed, and bearing of the target to predict its next location. When the distance between the predicted location and the actual location exceeds a certain threshold, the target transmits a short message to the tracker to update its current location. The threshold is dynamically adjusted to maintain the location tracking accuracy and the number of short messages on the basis of the moving speed of the target. The experimental results show that LBD, indeed, outperforms other methods because it satisfactorily maintains the location tracking accuracy with relatively fewer messages.

The purpose of this study is to enhance geo-location accuracy of the image data acquired by the Electro-Optical Camera(EOC) onboard KOMPSAT-1. EOC image data were analyzed to verify geo-location error. It was found that the major contribution was the time mark inaccuracy and attitude knowledge error. This study shows that the geo-location accuracy can be enhanced by modifying the time and attitude data of the ancillary data.

Today, detecting the location of moving object has been traced as various methods in our world. In this paper, we preset the system to improve the estimation accuracy utilizing detail localization using radar sensor based on WSN and situational awareness for a calibration (context aware) database, Rail concept. A variety of existing location tracking method has a problem with receiving of data and accuracy as tracking methodology, and since these located data are the only data to be collected for location tracing, the context aware or monitering as the surrounding environment is limited. So, in this paper, we enhanced the distance aware accuracy using radar sensor utilizing the Doppler effect among the distance measuring method, estimated the location using the Triangulation algorithm. Also, since we composed the environment data(temperature, illuminancem, humidity, noise) to entry of the database, it can be utilized in location-based service according to the later action information inference and positive context decision. In order to verify the validity of the suggested method, we give a few random situation and built test bed of designed node, and over the various test we proved the utilizing the context information through route tracking of moving and data processing.

In this paper, we proposed Wireless LAN (WLAN) localization method that enhances database construction based on weighting factor and analyse the characteristic of the WLAN received signals. The weighting factor plays a key role as it determines the importance of Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value from number of received signals (frequency). The fingerprint method is the most widely used method in WLAN-based positioning methods because it has high location accuracy compare to other indoor positioning methods. The fingerprint method has different location accuracies which depend on training phase and positioning phase. In training phase, intensity of RSSI is measured under the various. Conventional systems adapt average of RSSI samples in a database construction, which is not quite accurate due to variety of RSSI samples. In this paper, we analyse WLAN RSSI characteristic from anechoic chamber test, and analyze the causes of various distributions of RSSI and its influence on location accuracy in indoor environments. In addition, we proposed enhanced weighting factor algorithm for accurate database construction and compare location accuracy of proposed algorithm with conventional algorithm by computer simulations and tests.

In this paper, we propose indoor location tracking method using RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) value received from BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) beacon. Due to the influence of various external environmental factors, it is very difficult to improve the accuracy in indoor location tracking. In order to solve this problem, we propose a novel method of reducing the noise generated in the external environment by using a double Gaussian filter. In addition, the value of the RSSI signal generated in the BLE beacon is different for each device. In this study, we propose a method to allocate additional weights in order to compensate the intensity of signal generated in each device. This makes it possible to improve the accuracy of indoor location tracking using beacons. The experiment results show that the proposed method effectively decrease the RSSI deviation and increase location accuracy. In order to verify the usefulness of this study, we compared the Kalman filter algorithm which is widely used in signal processing. We further performed additional experiments for application area for indoor location service and find that the proposed scheme is useful for BLE-based indoor location service.

One of the key technical challenges of wireless sensor network (WSN) is location management of sensor nodes. Typical node location management methods use GPS, ultrasonic sensors or RSSI. In this paper we propose a new location management method which adopts regression analysis of RSSI measurement to improve the accuracy of sensor node position estimation. We also evaluated the performance of proposed method by comparing the experimental results with existing scheme. According to the results, our proposed method, LM-RAR, shows better accuracy than existing location management scheme using RSSI and Friis' equation.
