A High-Precision 3D Target Perception Algorithm Based on a Mobile RFID Reader and Double Tags

Abstract

With the popularization of positioning technology, more and more industries have begun to pay attention to the application and demand of location information, and almost all industries can benefit from low-cost and high-precision location information. This paper introduces a novel three-dimensional (3D) low-cost, high-precision target perception algorithm that utilizes a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) mobile reader and double tags. Initially, the Received Signal Strength (RSS) is employed to estimate the approximate position of the target along the length direction of the shelf. Additionally, double tags are affixed to the target, enabling the perception of its approximate height and depth through phase information measurements. Subsequently, the obtained rough position serves as an initial value for calibration using the proposed algorithm, allowing for the refinement of the target’s length information relative to the shelf. Simulation results demonstrate the exceptional accuracy of the proposed method in perceiving the 3D position information of the target, achieving centimeter-level sensing accuracy.
