Utilization of User Feedback in Indoor Positioning System

We propose an interpolation-based fingerprinting techniqu e utilizing user feedback which does not require an exhaustive training phase typically seen in t he indoor localization solutions. We argue that the contribution of users’ feedback to any position ing system is two-fold. Firstly, users’ feedback greatly help in fine-tuning an under-trained posit ioning system with proper filtering. Secondly, if users are well-behaved, our experimental results show that the participation of en dusers can actually assist in the construction of a positioni ng system incrementally from scratch. We also show that user feedback-based positioning system adapts quite well when surroundings change. Our present system is built upon Bluetooth.
