This study introduces a new method using dimensionality reduction to assess indoor radio map quality for better positioning. Visualizing signal data helps identify issues and refine monitor placement for improved accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Geomatics Engineering

Background:

  • Indoor positioning systems heavily rely on radio maps, which are complex multi-dimensional datasets.
  • Assessing radio map quality is challenging due to the high dimensionality of signal observations (RSSI values).
  • Existing methods struggle to visualize and verify signal separability crucial for accurate indoor localization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a refinement cycle for passive indoor positioning systems.
  • To develop methods for evaluating radio map quality using dimensionality reduction.
  • To provide graphical insights into radio map quality, identifying overlaps and outliers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing dimensionality reduction techniques to analyze multi-dimensional radio signal data.
