Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid indoor location tracking method is proposed for pedestrian using a set of inertial sensors embedded in smartphones. The method is composed of two localization techniques; one is dead-reckoning using inertial sensors and the other is Wi-Fi fingerprinting. The proposed method uses the concept of combined map of topological and geometric map. Introducing user-select points of interest in his/her workplace we can reduce the cost of building a radio map for Wi-Fi fingerprinting method. The dead-reckoning method can track incremental movements of user by detecting steps. Based on acceleration signals we proposed a method to estimate the orientation and position of the phone in a pocket of pants. Experiments verified the performance of the method.
