Fingerprinting-based localization methods relying on WiFi and GSM information provide sufficient localization accuracy for many mobile phone applications. Most of the existing approaches require a training set consisting of geo-referenced fingerprints to build a reference database. We propose a collaborative, semi-supervised WiFi+GSM fingerprinting method where only a small fraction of all fingerprints needs to be geo-referenced. Our approach enables indexing of areas in the absence of GPS reception as often found in urban spaces and indoors without manual labeling of fingerprints. The method takes advantage of the characteristic that the similarity of two fingerprints correlates to the distance between their corresponding location. By applying multidimensional scaling, a topology estimation is generated and with the help of a small set of geo-referenced fingerprints anchored to physical locations. An evaluation with an urban-scale data set shows that we can locate a mobile device with a median error of 30m. While normally all fingerprints of the training set need to be geo-referenced, with our method, only 8% require geo-referencing. We further show that the localization error decreases as new fingerprints are added and converges to an accuracy comparable to related work. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
