Abstract
This paper describes the design and implementation of an object tracking service for indoor environments. First, the wireless indoor location estimation technology is overviewed presenting advantages and disadvantages. Second, the methodology of the study is presented. To estimate the position we use clues inserted by location clue injectors of the system. In our architecture one of these injectors is a ZigBee sensor network. As location algorithm we have developed a method combining statistical techniques (particle filter) and proximity sensing (nearest neighbour) to get better efficiency. The results obtained show that a good precision and reliability can be achieved with a low-cost solution.
