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...

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Growing demand for location-based services and smartphone ubiquity drive interest in indoor localization.
  • Human activities contain semantic information crucial for enhancing indoor positioning accuracy.
  • Existing indoor localization systems can benefit from integrating activity recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a deep-learning model for human activity recognition (HAR) using smartphone inertial sensor data.
  • To integrate the developed HAR model into an existing indoor positioning system.
  • To evaluate the impact of HAR on indoor localization accuracy, particularly for floor transitions.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a deep-learning model utilizing a Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (ConvLSTM) network.
  • Training and validation of the HAR model on smartphone inertial sensor data to classify nine distinct activities.
  • Integration of the HAR model's predictions into an indoor positioning system for real-world testing.

Main Results:

  • The HAR model achieved accurate classification of nine human activities, including stationary, locomotion, and vertical movement.
  • Integration of HAR into the indoor positioning system resulted in an average positioning error of 2.4 meters in a multi-story building.
  • The inclusion of human activity information significantly reduced overall localization error and improved floor transition detection.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed ConvLSTM-based HAR model effectively classifies human activities using smartphone sensor data.
  • Incorporating human activity information into indoor localization systems enhances positioning accuracy and floor transition identification.
  • This approach offers a promising method for improving the performance of indoor positioning technologies.
