Abstract
Ultra-wideband technology has good anti-interference capabilities and development prospects in indoor positioning. Since ultra-wideband will be affected by random errors in indoor positioning, to exploit the advantages of the Kalman filter (KF) and the long short-term memory (LSTM) network, this paper proposes a long short-term memory neural network algorithm fused with the Kalman filter (KF-LSTM) to improve UWB positioning. First, the ultra-wideband data is processed through KF to weaken the noise in the data, and then the data is fed into the LSTM network for training, and the capability of the LSTM network to process time series features is employed to obtain more accurate label positions. Finally, simulation and measurement results show that the KF-LSTM algorithm achieves 71.31%, 37.28%, and 49.31% higher average positioning accuracy than the back propagation (BP) network, (back propagation network fused with the Kalman filter (KF-BP), and LSTM network algorithms, respectively, and the KF-LSTM algorithm performs more stably. Meanwhile, the more noise the data contains, the more obvious the stability contrast between the four algorithms.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:7277. [PMID: 37631813 PMCID: PMC10458750 DOI: 10.3390/s23167277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
Integrated Ultra-wideband (UWB) and Magnetic Inertial Measurement Unit (MIMU) sensor systems have been gaining popularity for pedestrian tracking and indoor localization applications, mainly due to their complementary error characteristics that can be exploited to achieve higher accuracies via a data fusion approach. These integrated sensor systems have the potential for improving the ambulatory 3D analysis of human movement (estimating 3D kinematics of body segments and joints) over systems using only on-body MIMUs. For this, high accuracy is required in the estimation of the relative positions of all on-body integrated UWB/MIMU sensor modules. So far, these integrated UWB/MIMU sensors have not been reported to have been applied for full-body ambulatory 3D analysis of human movement. Also, no review articles have been found that have analyzed and summarized the methods integrating UWB and MIMU sensors for on-body applications. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of this technology is essential to identify its potential for application in 3D analysis of human movement. This article thus aims to provide such a comprehensive analysis through a structured technical review of the methods integrating UWB and MIMU sensors for accurate position estimation in the context of the application for 3D analysis of human movement. The methods used for integration are all summarized along with the accuracies that are reported in the reviewed articles. In addition, the gaps that are required to be addressed for making this system applicable for the 3D analysis of human movement are discussed.

Markerless Radio Frequency Indoor Monitoring for Telemedicine: Gait Analysis, Indoor Positioning, Fall Detection, Tremor Analysis, Vital Signs and Sleep Monitoring.

Abstract
Quantitative indoor monitoring, in a low-invasive and accurate way, is still an unmet need in clinical practice. Indoor environments are more challenging than outdoor environments, and are where patients experience difficulty in performing activities of daily living (ADLs). In line with the recent trends of telemedicine, there is an ongoing positive impulse in moving medical assistance and management from hospitals to home settings. Different technologies have been proposed for indoor monitoring over the past decades, with different degrees of invasiveness, complexity, and capabilities in full-body monitoring. The major classes of devices proposed are inertial-based sensors (IMU), vision-based devices, and geomagnetic and radiofrequency (RF) based sensors. In recent years, among all available technologies, there has been an increasing interest in using RF-based technology because it can provide a more accurate and reliable method of tracking patients' movements compared to other methods, such as camera-based systems or wearable sensors. Indeed, RF technology compared to the other two techniques has higher compliance, low energy consumption, does not need to be worn, is less susceptible to noise, is not affected by lighting or other physical obstacles, has a high temporal resolution without a limited angle of view, and fewer privacy issues. The aim of the present narrative review was to describe the potential applications of RF-based indoor monitoring techniques and highlight their differences compared to other monitoring technologies.

Fully Flexible Textile Antenna-Backed Sensor Node for Body-Worn UWB Localization. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21051641.

Abstract
A mechanically flexible textile antenna-backed sensor node is designed and manufactured, providing accurate personal localization functionality by application of Decawave's DW1000 Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) Integrated Circuit (IC). All components are mounted on a flexible polyimide foil, which is integrated on the backplane of a wearable cavity-backed slot antenna designed for IR-UWB localization in Channels 2 and 3 of the IEEE 802.15.4-2011 standard (3744 MHz-4742.4 MHz). The textile antenna's radiation pattern is optimized to mitigate body effects and to minimize absorption by body tissues. Furthermore, its time-domain characteristics are measured to be adequate for localization. By combining the antenna and the bendable Printed Circuit Board (PCB), a mechanically supple sensor system is realized, for which the performance is validated by examining it as a node used in a complete localization system. This shows that six nodes around the body must be deployed to provide system coverage in all directions around the wearer. Even without using sleep mode functionalities, the measurements indicate that the system's autonomy is 13.3 h on a 5 V 200 mAh battery. Hence, this system acts as a proof of concept for the joining of localization electronics and other sensors with a full-textile antenna into a mechanically flexible sensor system.

Abstract
Improving performance and safety conditions in industrial sites remains a key objective for most companies. Currently, the main goal is to be able to dynamically locate both people and goods on the site. Security and access regulation to restricted areas are often ensured by doors or badge barriers and those have several issues when faced with people being in places they are not supposed to be in or even tools of objects being used incorrectly. In addition to this, a growing use of new devices requires precise information about their location in the environment such as mobile robots or drones. Therefore, it is becoming essential to have the tools to dynamically manage these flows of people and goods. Ultra-wide-band and motion capture solutions will be used to quickly identify people who may be in unauthorized areas or performing tasks which they have been uninstructed to do. In addition to the dynamic tracking of people, this also overcomes some issues associated with moving objects or tools around the production floor. We offer a new set of data that provides precise information on worker movement. This dataset can be used to develop new metrics regarding worker efficiency and safety.

Abstract
Radio-based positioning systems are typically utilized to provide high-precision position information for automatic-guided vehicles (AGVs). However, the presence of obstacles in harsh environments, as well as carried cargoes on the AGV, will degrade the localization performance, since they block the propagation of radio signals. In this paper, a distributed multi-antenna positioning system is proposed, where multiple synchronous antennas are equipped on corners of an AGV to improve the availability and accuracy of positioning. An estimator based on the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is introduced to solve the nonlinear pseudo-range equations. To obtain the global optimal solutions, we propose a coarse estimator that utilizes the displacement knowledge of the antennas to provide a rough initial guess. Simulation results show a better availability of our system compared with the single antenna positioning system. Decimeter accuracy can be obtained under a Gaussian measurement noise with a standard deviation of 0.2 m. The results also demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve positioning accuracy close to the theoretical Cramer–Rao lower bound. Furthermore, given prior information of the yaw angle, the same level of accuracy can be obtained by the proposed algorithm without the coarse estimation step.

Abstract
Wearable indoor localization can now find applications in a wide spectrum of fields, including the care of children and the elderly, sports motion analysis, rehabilitation medicine, robotics navigation, etc. Conventional inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based position estimation and radio signal indoor localization methods based on WiFi, Bluetooth, ultra-wide band (UWB), and radio frequency identification (RFID) all have their limitations regarding cost, accuracy, or usability, and a combination of the techniques has been considered a promising way to improve the accuracy. This investigation aims to provide a cost-effective wearable sensing solution with data fusion algorithms for indoor localization and real-time motion analysis. The main contributions of this investigation are: (1) the design of a wireless, battery-powered, and light-weight wearable sensing device integrating a low-cost UWB module-DWM1000 and micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) IMU-MPU9250 for synchronized measurement; (2) the implementation of a Mahony complementary filter for noise cancellation and attitude calculation, and quaternions for frame rotation to obtain the continuous attitude for displacement estimation; (3) the development of a data fusion model integrating the IMU and UWB data to enhance the measurement accuracy using Kalman-filter-based time-domain iterative compensations; and (4) evaluation of the developed sensor module by comparing it with UWB- and IMU-only solutions. The test results demonstrate that the average error of the integrated module reached 7.58 cm for an arbitrary walking path, which outperformed the IMU- and UWB-only localization solutions. The module could recognize lateral roll rotations during normal walking, which could be potentially used for abnormal gait recognition.

Abstract
An accurate and reliable Indoor Positioning System (IPS) applicable to most indoor scenarios has been sought for many years. The number of technologies, techniques, and approaches in general used in IPS proposals is remarkable. Such diversity, coupled with the lack of strict and verifiable evaluations, leads to difficulties for appreciating the true value of most proposals. This paper provides a meta-review that performed a comprehensive compilation of 62 survey papers in the area of indoor positioning. The paper provides the reader with an introduction to IPS and the different technologies, techniques, and some methods commonly employed. The introduction is supported by consensus found in the selected surveys and referenced using them. Thus, the meta-review allows the reader to inspect the IPS current state at a glance and serve as a guide for the reader to easily find further details on each technology used in IPS. The analyses of the meta-review contributed with insights on the abundance and academic significance of published IPS proposals using the criterion of the number of citations. Moreover, 75 works are identified as relevant works in the research topic from a selection of about 4000 works cited in the analyzed surveys.

Abstract
One of the functionalities which are desired in Ambient and Assisted Living systems is accurate user localization at their living place. One of the best-suited solutions for this purpose from the cost and energy efficiency points of view are Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-based localization systems. Unfortunately, their localization accuracy is typically around several meters and might not be sufficient for detection of abnormal situations in elderly persons behavior. In this paper, a concept of a hybrid positioning system combining typical BLE-based infrastructure and proximity sensors is presented. The proximity sensors act a supporting role by additionally covering vital places, where higher localization accuracy is needed. The results from both parts are fused using two types of hybrid algorithms. The paper contains results of simulation and experimental studies. During the experiment, an exemplary proximity sensor VL53L1X has been tested and its basic properties modeled for use in the proposed algorithms. The results of the study have shown that employing proximity sensors can significantly improve localization accuracy in places of interest.

Reliable Indoor Pseudolite Positioning Based on a Robust Estimation and Partial Ambiguity Resolution Method. SENSORS 2019; 19:s19173692. [PMID: 31450683 PMCID: PMC6749441 DOI: 10.3390/s19173692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2019] [Revised: 08/21/2019] [Accepted: 08/23/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) can effectively reduce the linearized model error and the dependence on initial coordinate values for indoor pseudolite (PL) positioning unlike the extended Kalman filter (EKF). However, PL observations are prone to various abnormalities because the indoor environment is usually complex. Standard UKF (SUKF) lacks resistance to frequent abnormal observations. This inadequacy brings difficulty in guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of indoor PL positioning, especially for phase-based high-precision positioning. In this type of positioning, the ambiguity resolution (AR) will be difficult to achieve in the presence of abnormal observations. In this study, a robust UKF (RUKF) and partial AR (PAR) algorithm are introduced and applied in indoor PL positioning. First, the UKF is used for parameter estimation. Then, the anomaly recognition statistics and optimal ambiguity subset of PAR are constructed on the basis of the posterior residuals. The IGGIII scheme is adopted to weaken the influence of abnormal observation, and the PAR strategy is conducted in case of failure of the conventional PL-AR. The superiority of our proposed algorithm is validated using the measured indoor PL data for code-based differential PL (DPL) and phase-based real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning modes. Numerical results indicate that the positioning accuracy of RUKF-based indoor DPL is higher with a decimeter-level improvement compared that of the SUKF, especially in the presence of large gross errors. In terms of high-precision RTK positioning, RUKF can correctly identify centimeter-level anomalous observations and obtain a corresponding positioning accuracy improvement compared with the SUKF. When relatively large gross errors exist, the conventional method cannot easily realize PL-AR. By contrast, the combination of RUKF and the PAR algorithm can achieve PL-AR for the selected ambiguity subset successfully and can improve the positioning accuracy and reliability significantly. In summary, our proposed algorithm has certain resistance ability for abnormal observations. The indoor PL positioning of this algorithm outperforms that of the conventional method. Thus, the algorithm has some practical application value, especially for kinematic positioning.
