Dual-sensor fusion for indoor user localisation

In this paper we address the automatic identification of in- door locations using a combination of WLAN and image sensing. Our motivation is the increasing prevalence of wear- able cameras, some of which can also capture WLAN data. We propose to use image-based and WLAN-based localisa- tion individually and then fuse the results to obtain better performance overall. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our fusion algorithm for localisation to within a 8.9m2 room on very challenging data both for WLAN and image-based algorithms. We envisage the potential usefulness of our ap- proach in a range of ambient assisted living applications

Indoor localisation based on fusing WLAN and image data

In this paper we address the automatic identification of indoor locations using a combination of WLAN and image sensing. We demonstrate the effectiveness of combining the strengths of these two complementary modalities for very chal- lenging data. We describe a fusion approach that allows localising to a specific office within a building to a high degree of precision or to a location within that office with reasonable precision. As it can be orientated towards the needs and capabilities of a user based on context the method becomes useful for ambient assisted living applications

Localization in orchards using Extended Kalman Filter for sensor-fusion - A FroboMind component

Making an automated vehicle navigate in rows of orchards is a feature, relevant for automating the plant nursing and cultivation of the trees. To be able to navigate accurate and reliably, the vehicle must know its position relative to the trees in the orchards
