Abstract
Indoor positioning systems answer the need for ubiquitous localisation systems. Frequently, indoor positioning relies on machine learning models developed based on the training data composed of WiFi received signal strength (RSS) vectors observed in different indoor locations. However, this requires expensive collection of RSS vectors in precisely measured locations. In this study, we propose a semi-supervised method, which can reduce the volume of expensive labelled training data and exploit the availability of unlabelled signal strength measurements. The method relies, inter alia, on the measures of similarity among nearest neighbours of unlabelled vectors. Tests performed with a number of testbed areas confirm that the method improves the accuracy of random forest models used to estimate indoor location of mobile terminals.
