Abstract

This paper describes development of our self-localization method in indoor environment based on LED optical frequency modulation. Full color LEDs are used as markers for position estimation. The characteristic of this system is that red, green and blue led’s optical patterns are frequency modulated independently and used them for including some kinds of information. By using the information of these optical patterns, the system can acquire all positions of the markers before the calibration. Then the time and labor for the calibration will be eliminated. In this paper, we conduct basic experiments which confirm the method to acquire the information which is provided from LED optical patterns in an actual environment.
