摘要：It is a common understanding that the localization accuracy can be improved by indoor maps and inertial sensors. However, there is a lack of concrete and generic solutions that combine these two features together and practically demonstrate its validity. This article aims to provide such a solution based on the mainstream fingerprint-based indoor localization approach. First, we introduce the theorem called reference points placement , which gives a theoretical guide to place reference points. Second, we design a Wi-Fi signal propagation-based cluster algorithm to reduce the amount of computation. The paper gives a parameter called reliability to overcome the skewing of inertial sensors. Then we also present Kalman filter and Markov chain to predict the system status. The system is able to provide high-accuracy real-time tracking by integrating indoor map and inertial sensors with Wi-Fi signal strength. Finally, the proposed work is evaluated and compared with the previous Wi-Fi indoor localization systems. In addition, the effect of inertial sensors’ reliability is also discussed. Results are drawn from a campus office building which is about 80 m×140 m with 57 access points.
