As we build the system as an application running on an iPhone, we choose Kalman filter as the fusion algorithm to avoid complex computation. In fingerprinting, a multi-direction-database approach is applied. Finally, in order to reduce the cumulative error of PDR due to smartphone sensors, we propose an algorithm that we name “Distance-based position correction”. The aim of this algorithm is to occasionally correct the tracked position by using the iBeacon nearest to the user. In real experiments, our system can run smoothly on an iPhone, with the average positioning error of only 0.63 m. date: 2018-08-08 date_type: published full_text_status: public pres_type: paper event_title: The 4th International Conference on Research in Intelligent and Computing in Engineering event_type: conference refereed: FALSE citation: Trinh, Vu Tuan Anh and Dinh, Thi Thai Mai and Nguyen, Quoc Tuan and Sandrasegaran, Kumbesan (2018) Indoor Positioning using BLE iBeacon, smartphone Sensors and Distance-based Position Correction Algorithm.
