COLLONA: Design and Implementation of Corridor-Level Localization toward Indoor Pedestrian Navigation

Indoor positioning and navigation technology cannot depend on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) due to the instability or unavailability of its signal. While conventional research activities about indoor pedestrian navigation is enhancing the accuracy of positioning, our approach simplifies a model for navigation and does not necessitate accurate positions. In this research, we have designed and implemented Corridor-Level Localization for Indoor Pedestrian Navigation (COLLONA), a system that performs positioning for indoor pedestrian navigation. Under the concept of indoor pedestrian navigation without needing accurate positioning, COLLONA represents indoor floor-plan as a graph composed of nodes and edges, aiming at estimating pedestrian’s presence location at node and edge granularity levels.
