Zusammenfassung:Indoor positioning is the basic requirement of future positioning services, and high-precision, low-cost indoor positioning algorithms are the key technology to achieve this goal. Different from outdoor maps, indoor data has the characteristic of uneven distribution and close correlation. In areas with low data density, in order to achieve a high-precision positioning effect, the positioning time will be correspondingly longer, but this is not necessary. The instability of WiFi leads to the introduction of noise when collecting data, which reduces the overall performance of the positioning system, so denoising is very necessary. For the above problems, a positioning system using the DBSCAN algorithm to segment regions and realize regionalized positioning is proposed. DBSCAN algorithm not only divides the dataset into core points and edge points, but also divides part of the data into noise points to achieve the effect of denoising. In the core part, the dimensionality of the data is reduced by using stacking auto-encoders (SAE), and the localization task is accomplished by using a deep neural network (DNN) with an adaptive learning rate. At the edge points, the random forest (RF) algorithm is used to complete the localization task. Finally, the proposed architecture is verified on the UJIIndoorLoc dataset. The experimental results show that our positioning accuracy does not exceed 1.5 m with a probability of less than 87.2% at the edge point, and the time is only 32 ms; the positioning accuracy does not exceed 1.5 m with a probability of less than 98.8% at the core point. Compared with indoor positioning algorithms such as multi-layer perceptron and K Nearest Neighbors (KNN), good results have been achieved.
