Indoor localization with incomplete observation using set-membership filter

Indoor localization is a popular topic because of the poor performance of GPS in the indoor environment. This paper has provided a new method to achieve the goal of indoor localization. Combining the usage of posture sensors with the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, we solved the problem of plentiful tags in the traditional RFID indoor localization. The relative localization subsystem is based on posture sensors and the absolute localization subsystem is based on RFID. A set-membership theory based data fusion algorithm is proposed to fuse the data of relative localization and absolute localization. Experimental results show that the proposed data fusion algorithm could significantly reduce the accumulated error of our indoor localization system.
