Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

127
Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over...

Area of Science:

  • Wireless communication
  • Indoor positioning systems
  • Sensor networks

Background:

  • Growing need for accurate indoor positioning and distance estimation in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) environments.
  • Existing infrastructure-less ranging and collaborative positioning methods require extensive, simultaneous mobile device measurements, for which no public databases exist.
  • Tedious data collection hinders the development and validation of these advanced positioning techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comprehensive Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) database for indoor positioning and ranging applications.
  • To provide a valuable resource for researchers developing and testing infrastructure-less and collaborative positioning systems.
  • To facilitate advancements in indoor localization accuracy, particularly in challenging NLOS conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) database containing Received-Signal-Strength (RSS) and Ground-Truth (GT) position data.
  • Collection of data using mobile devices as both transmitters and receivers.
  • Structuring the database into three distinct subsets for calibration, NLOS ranging/positioning, and real-world office conditions.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive BLE dataset is established, comprising RSS and GT positions suitable for indoor positioning.
  • The database is validated through baseline analyses including data visualization, filtering, and collaborative distance estimation.
  • The Levenberg-Marquardt Least Squares Trilateration method was applied for path-loss based distance estimation.

Conclusions:

  • The presented BLE database addresses the critical need for accessible data in indoor positioning research.
  • The dataset supports the development and evaluation of infrastructure-less ranging and collaborative positioning, especially in NLOS scenarios.
  • This resource is expected to accelerate innovation in mobile device-based indoor localization technologies.
