Abstract
Received signal strength (RSS)-based device-free localization applications utilize the communication between wireless devices for locating people within the monitored area. The technology is based on the fact that humans cause changes in properties of the wireless channel which is observed in the RSS, enabling localization of people without requiring them to carry any sensor, tag or device. Typically this inverse problem is solved using an empirical model that relates the RSS to location of the sensors and person, and utilizing either an imaging method or a particle filter (PF) for positioning. In this paper, we present an extended Kalman filtering (EKF) solution that incorporates some of the beneficial properties of the PF but has a lower computational overhead. In order to make the EKF work, we also need to reconsider how the measurements are sampled and processed, and a new processing scheme is proposed. The developments are validated using simulations and experimental data, and the results imply: i) the non-linear filters outperform a popular imaging method; ii) the robustness of the EKF and PF is improved using the proposed processing scheme; and iii) the EKF achieves similar performance as the PF as long as the new processing scheme is used.Description
