    Lingwu Qian1, Jianxiang Li2, Qi Tang1, Mengfei Liu1, Bingjie Yuan1, Guoli Ji1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.136, No.2, pp. 1441-1455, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.024534

    Abstract In recent years, a number of wireless indoor positioning (WIP), such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technologies, are emerging. However, the indoor environment is complex and changeable. Walls, pillars, and even pedestrians may block wireless signals and produce non-line-of-sight (NLOS) deviations, resulting in decreased positioning accuracy and the inability to provide people with real-time continuous indoor positioning. This work proposed a strong tracking particle filter based on the chi-square test (SPFC) for indoor positioning. SPFC can fuse indoor wireless signals and the information of the inertial sensing unit (IMU) in the smartphone and detect the NLOS deviation through the… More >

    Abstract With the development of urbanization, the problem of neurological diseases brought about by population aging has gradually become a social problem of worldwide concern. Aging leads to gradual degeneration of the central nervous system, shrinkage of brain tissue, and decline in physical function in many elderlies, making them susceptible to neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), stroke, Parkinson’s and major depressive disorder (MDD). Due to the influence of these neurological diseases, the elderly have troubles such as memory loss, inability to move, falling, and getting lost, which seriously affect their quality of life. Tracking and positioning of elderly with… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract Visible light communication (VLC), which is a prominent emerging solution that complements the radio frequency (RF) technology, exhibits the potential to meet the demands of fifth-generation (5G) and beyond technologies. The random movement of mobile terminals in the indoor environment is a challenge in the VLC system. The model of optical attocells has a critical role in the uniform distribution and the quality of communication links in terms of received power and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). As such, the optical attocells positions were optimized in this study with a developed try and error (TE) algorithm. The optimized optical attocells were examined… More >

    Robust Fingerprint Construction Based on Multiple Path Loss Model (M-PLM) for Indoor Localization

    Yun Fen Yong1,*, Chee Keong Tan1, Ian Kim Teck Tan2, Su Wei Tan1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 1801-1818, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.032710

    Abstract A robust radio map is essential in implementing a fingerprint-based indoor positioning system (IPS). However, the offline site survey to manually construct the radio map is time-consuming and labour-intensive. Various interpolation techniques have been proposed to infer the virtual fingerprints to reduce the time and effort required for offline site surveys. This paper presents a novel fingerprint interpolator using a multi-path loss model (M-PLM) to create the virtual fingerprints from the collected sample data based on different signal paths from different access points (APs). Based on the historical signal data, the poor signal paths are identified using their standard deviations.… More >

    An Improved Hybrid Indoor Positioning Algorithm via QPSO and MLP Signal Weighting

    Edgar Scavino1,*, Mohd Amiruddin Abd Rahman1, Zahid Farid2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.1, pp. 379-397, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.023824

    Abstract Accurate location or positioning of people and self-driven devices in large indoor environments has become an important necessity The application of increasingly automated self-operating moving transportation units, in large indoor spaces demands a precise knowledge of their positions. Technologies like WiFi and Bluetooth, despite their low-cost and availability, are sensitive to signal noise and fading effects. For these reasons, a hybrid approach, which uses two different signal sources, has proven to be more resilient and accurate for the positioning determination in indoor environments. Hence, this paper proposes an improved hybrid technique to implement a fingerprinting based indoor positioning, using Received… More >

    Improved Adaptive Iterated Extended Kalman Filter for GNSS/INS/UWB-Integrated Fixed-Point Positioning

    Qingdong Wu1, Chenxi Li2, Tao Shen2, Yuan Xu2,3,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.134, No.3, pp. 1761-1772, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.020545

    Abstract To provide stable and accurate position information of control points in a complex coastal environment, an adaptive iterated extended Kalman filter (AIEKF) for fixed-point positioning integrating global navigation satellite system, inertial navigation system, and ultra wide band (UWB) is proposed. In this method, the switched global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and UWB measurement are used as the measurement of the proposed filter. For the data fusion filter, the expectation-maximization (EM) based IEKF is used as the forward filter, then, the Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoother for IEKF filter’s result smoothing. Tests illustrate that the proposed AIEKF is able to provide an accurate estimation. More >

    Tracking Pedestrians Under Occlusion in Parking Space

    Zhengshu Zhou1,*, Shunya Yamada2, Yousuke Watanabe2, Hiroaki Takada1,2

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.44, No.3, pp. 2109-2127, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.029005

    Abstract Many traffic accidents occur in parking lots. One of the serious safety risks is vehicle-pedestrian conflict. Moreover, with the increasing development of automatic driving and parking technology, parking safety has received significant attention from vehicle safety analysts. However, pedestrian protection in parking lots still faces many challenges. For example, the physical structure of a parking lot may be complex, and dead corners would occur when the vehicle density is high. These lead to pedestrians’ sudden appearance in the vehicle’s path from an unexpected position, resulting in collision accidents in the parking lot. We advocate that besides vehicular sensing data, high-precision… More >

    Modeling and Prediction of Inter-System Bias for GPS/BDS-2/BDS-3 Combined Precision Point Positioning

    Zejie Wang1, Qianxin Wang1,*, Sanxi Li2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.132, No.3, pp. 823-843, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.020106

    Abstract The combination of Precision Point Positioning (PPP) with Multi-Global Navigation Satellite System (MultiGNSS), called MGPPP, can improve the positioning precision and shorten the convergence time more effectively than the combination of PPP with only the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). However, the Inter-System Bias (ISB) measurement of Multi-GNSS, including the time system offset, the coordinate system difference, and the inter-system hardware delay bias, must be considered for Multi-GNSS data fusion processing. The detected ISB can be well modeled and predicted by using a quadratic model (QM), an autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA), as well as the sliding window strategy… More >
