Isovist Fingerprinting as new way of Indoor Localisation

Nowadays, humans rely in technology more and more when it comes to navigation and localisation and in many aspects of life as well. While most concepts related to localisation and navigation of outdoors environments are already well derived from various researches and softwares, the indoor environment remains a significantly unexplored area....

Placement optimization of Positioning Nodes: Maximizing the distinction of Indoor Zones

The performance of an Indoor Positioning System is highly related to the placement of the transmitting nodes that are used as references for the positioning estimations. Within this graduation project, we propose a methodology that can be used to optimize such a deployment and thus, increase the performance of an Indoor Positioning System that a...

Wireless Clock Synchronisation for UWB Positioning

An Indoor Positioning System (IPS) is being developed at TOPIC Embed- ded Systems to track equipment in hospitals. The system should prevent the loss of equipment en make procedures more efficient. The IPS will con- sist of anchors and tags. Anchors are the radios that form an infrastructure in the building to localise tags that are placed on...

IPS as a tool for designing to improve the care for people with dementia: designing a new system for nursing home

This project aims to improving the care service for people with dementia who exhibits BPSD (Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia) by providing the relevant stakeholders data insights, and meanwhile improving these people’s working efficiency.

A statistical analysis on the system performance of a Bluetooth Low Energy indoor positioning system in a 3D environment

Since GPS tends to fail for indoor positioning purposes, alternative methods like indoor positioning systems (IPS) based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) are developing rapidly. Generally, IPS are deployed in environments covered with obstacles such as furniture, (partition-) walls, people and electronics influencing the signal propagation. The...
