Constraint Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine for lifelong indoor localization system

As an important technology in LBS (Location Based Services) field, Wi-Fi based indoor localization suffers signal fluctuation problem which prevents lifelong and high performance running. With the fluctuation of wireless signal over time, fingerprints collected at the same location become different; therefore existing model cannot fit the new collected data well, which decreases the localization accuracy. In this paper, a novel indoor localization method COSELM (Constraint Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine) is proposed, utilizing incremental data to update the old model and overcome the fluctuation problem. The performance of COSELM is validated in real Wi-Fi indoor environment. Compared with OSELM, it can improve more than 5% localization accuracy on average; and in contrast to batch learning, COSELM can save more than 50% time consumption.
