Color Radiomap Interpolation for Efficient Fingerprint WiFi-based Indoor Location Estimation

Abstract

 Indoor location estimation system based on existing 802.11 signal strength is becoming increasingly prevalent in the area of mobility and ubiquity. The user-based location determination system utilizes the information of the Signal Strength (SS) received from the surrounding Access Points (APs) to determine the user position. In this paper, we focus on the development of a user position estimation using existing WiFi environment for its low cost and ease of deployment and study fingerprint-based deterministic techniques for their simplicity and effectiveness. We present the color radio map interpolation method with ease to development, reduce the calibration effort on creating radio map while still retain the accuracy of user position estimation. The average accuracy error 1.108 meter is achieved on 1.25 meter x 2.5 meter of cell grid size.
