ABSTRACT
Indoor positioning is needed in many localization applications such as navigation, autonomous robotic movement, and asset tracking. In this paper, an indoor localization method based on fusion of WiFi RSSI positioning and inertial navigation system (INS) is proposed. Using WiFi positioning only is affected by the indoor communications environment that distort the RSSI signals, also using INS standalone solution has very degraded long-term performance, a Kalman filter (KF) is adopted in this paper to fuse and filter the RSSI signals with the INS data to have more accurate positioning results with average distance error of 0.6m.
