Abstract

Indoor localization is particularly valuable in many indoor application scenarios, such as shopping malls and airports. An indoor localization system on smartphones should be low-power as well as accurate. In this paper, we present Turnin - a completely infrastructure-free and extremely low-power indoor localization system for smartphones. Turnin only leverages two kinds of most low-power sensors, i.e., magnetometer and inertial sensors, and does not rely on any infrastructure. It achieves accurate localization by exploiting 2-D geomagnetic fingerprints. To evaluate Turnin, we carried out a series of experiments in a 5-floor office building. The results show that Turnin achieves a success localization rate of almost 100% with an average error of smaller than 1.5 meters.
