Abstract

The accuracy of wireless fingerprint-based indoor localization largely depends on the precision and density of radio maps. Although many research efforts have been devoted to incremental updating of radio maps, few consider the laborious initial construction of a new site. In this work, we propose an accurate and generalizable framework for efficient radio map construction, which takes advantage of readily-available fine-grained radio maps and constructs fine-grained radio maps of a new site with a small proportion of measurements in it. Specifically, we regard radio maps as domains and propose a Radio Map construction approach based on Domain Adaptation (RMDA). We first employ the domain disentanglement feature extractor to learn domain-invariant features for aligning the source domains (available radio maps) with the target domain (initial radio map) in the domain-invariant latent space. Furthermore, we propose a dynamic weighting strategy, which learns the relevancy of the source and target domain in the domain adaptation. Then, we extract the domain-specific features based on the site's floorplan and use them to constrain the super-resolution of the domain-invariant features. Experimental results demonstrate that RMDA constructs a fine-grained initial radio map of a target site efficiently with a limited number of measurements. Meanwhile, the localization accuracy of the refined radio map with RMDA significantly improved by about 41.35% after construction and is comparable with the dense surveyed radio map (the reduction is less than 8%).
