Wi-Fi Location Determination For Semantic Locations, Keith J. Kelley
Wi-Fi Location Determination For Semantic Locations, Keith J. Kelley
The Hilltop Review
In Wi-Fi location determination literature, little attention is paid to locations that do not have numeric, geometric coordinates, though many users prefer the convenience of non-coordinate locations (consider the ease of giving a street address as opposed to giving latitude and longitude). It is not often easy to tell from the title or abstract of a Wi-Fi location determination article whether or not it has applicability to semantic locations such as room-level names. This article surveys the literature through 2011 on Wi-Fi localization for symbolic locations.

An Rfid Based Indoor Tracking Method For Navigating Visually Impaired People, Ruşen Öktem, Eli̇f Aydin
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper tackles the RFID based tracking problem in an obscured indoor environment. The proposed solution is an integral part of a navigation aid for guiding visually impaired people in a store. It uses RF signal strengths and is based on the Bayes Decision Theory. An observation vector is formed by received radio signal strength indication values, transmitted from three transmitters at distinct frequencies in the UHF band. The indoor area is divided into square grids, where each grid is considered as a class. The problem of tracking is expressed as classifying the observed radio signal strengths to the most …
