Abstract

Location information is playing a significant role in nowadays mobile applications. Performing indoor localization with existing WiFi infrastructure and smartphone motion sensor through statistical filtering has been proven to be a feasible solution. Many literature have resorted to particle filters to deal with the multi-modal and non-Gaussian problem associated with the filtering process. Although grid-based filters can approximate the true densities better compared with particle filters, their computational cost is extremely expensive, especially for large areas. In this paper, we develop a novel asymmetric grid-based filter to accommodate both high-resolution requirement and computational cost-efficiency. The evaluation over an indoor area of 3750m2 has shown that our proposed method can achieve a median error of only 2.72m, which is 0.17m more accurate with only 24% of the computation cost compared to particle filters.
