Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

202
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has revolutionized navigation and positioning, but its accuracy is often compromised by various errors. These errors, stemming from environmental, satellite, and receiver-related factors, require careful mitigation to ensure reliable performance across applications.Atmospheric ErrorsGPS signals travel through the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere, introducing delays which affect accuracy. The ionosphere is strongly influenced by charged particles,...

Area of Science:

  • Sensor Technology
  • Smart Environments
  • Indoor Localization

Background:

  • Pyroelectric Infrared (PIR) sensors are cost-effective, low-power, and reliable for smart environments.
  • Indoor localization systems include wearable and device-free (non-wearable) approaches.
  • PIR sensors detect motion but lack precise location data, necessitating cooperative systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design a PIR detector and signal processing algorithms for cooperative indoor localization.
  • To develop a non-wearable, device-free human localization system using PIR sensor networks.
  • To evaluate and compare signal processing and refinement schemes for enhanced positioning accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a PIR detector and sensing signal processing algorithms tailored to PIR sensor characteristics.
  • Implemented a non-wearable cooperative indoor human localization system using PIR sensor nodes.
  • Applied and compared Kalman filter, Transferable Belief Model (TBM), and a hybrid TBM + Kalman filter approach for signal refinement.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated system stability and improved positioning accuracy through experimental validation.
  • The TBM-based hybrid approach showed significant enhancements in localization performance.
  • The developed framework effectively utilizes overlapping PIR sensor fields of view for localization.

Conclusions:

  • The designed PIR detector and algorithms form a viable framework for cooperative indoor localization.
  • Signal processing and refinement schemes, particularly hybrid approaches, are crucial for enhancing PIR-based localization accuracy.
  • This research contributes a practical solution for device-free indoor human localization using PIR sensor networks.
