Abstract
This paper offers a solution to challenge navigation in the indoor environment by making use of the existing infrastructure. Estimating pedestrian trajectory using pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) and WiFi is a very popular technique. However, cumulative errors and mismatching are major problems in PDR and WiFi fingerprint matching, respectively. PDR and pedestrian heading are used as the state transition equation, and the step length and WiFi matching results are used as observation equations. A federated particle filter (FPF) based on the principle of information sharing is proposed to fusion PDR and WiFi, which improves pedestrian navigation accuracy. The experimental results show that the average positioning accuracy is 0.94 m and 1.5 m, respectively.
