Abstract

This paper reports a real-time localization algorithm system that has a main function to determine the location of devices accurately. The model can locate the smartphone position passively (which do not need a set on a smartphone) as long as the Wi-Fi is turned on. The algorithm uses Intersection Density, and the Nonlinear Least Square Algorithm (NLS) method that utilizes the Lavenberg-Marquart method. To minimize the localization error, Kalman Filter (KF) is used. The algorithm is computed under Matlab approach. The most obtained model will be implemented in this Wi-Fi tracker system using RSSI-based distance for indoor crowd monitoring. According to the experiment result, KF can improve Hit ratio of 81.15 %. Hit ratio is predicting results of a location that is less than 5 m from the actual area (location). It can be obtained from several RSSI scans, the calculation is as follows: the number of non-error results divided by the number of RSSI scans and multiplied by 100%.

Highlights

  • In 4.0 era, crowd monitoring/tracking system has become very useful application because it provides some summaries and insights about flow, direction, density and activity of people in certain public and private areas

  • The methods can be used in the crowd monitoring system, e.g., image-based and non-image-based method

  • That approach has several other disadvantages: it only covers a small line-of-sight (LoS) area and difficult to obtain high estimation accuracy when overlap and occlusion exist in the crowd

Summary

Introduction

In 4.0 era, crowd monitoring/tracking system has become very useful application because it provides some summaries and insights about flow, direction, density and activity of people in certain public and private areas. A prior work described the use of a real-time Wi-Fi tracking system for business intelligence in the retail company [1]. The methods can be used in the crowd monitoring system, e.g., image-based and non-image-based method. Image or videobased system requires high-cost and complex computation. That approach has several other disadvantages: it only covers a small line-of-sight (LoS) area and difficult to obtain high estimation accuracy when overlap and occlusion exist in the crowd. The non-image-based method can overcome drawbacks in image-based methods, especially in the cost factor, and it can cover a high LoS area
