Abstract

In this paper, Gaussian process regression (GPR) for fingerprinting based localization is presented. In contrast to general regression techniques, the GPR not only infers the posterior received signal strength (RSS) mean but also the variance at each fingerprint location. The GPR does take into account the variance of input i.e., noisy RSS data. The hyper-parameters of GPR are estimated using trust-region-reflective algorithm. The Cramér-Rao bound is analysed to highlight the performance of the parameter estimator. The posterior mean and variance of RSS data is utilized in fingerprinting based localization. The principal component analysis is employed to choose the k strongest wi-fi access points (APs). The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated using using real field deployments. Accuracy improvements of 10% and 30% are observed in two sites compared to the Horus fingerprinting approach.
