Abstract
Over the past decade, visible light positioning has become increasingly important for precise localization systems, yet its widespread adoption is limited due to the necessity of modifying existing lighting systems. This paper presents HueLoc, a novel method that bypasses this issue by using inherent features of light, such as the dominant colours in white LED lights, and employs affordable, energy-efficient hue sensors for location services. We propose that by extracting the power at dominant wavelengths of LEDs, these can be uniquely identified using a specifically designed signature. The unique signatures can be used by mobile objects for spatial awareness and further localization using the proposed regression-based learning approach. Our experiments demonstrate that HueLoc attains a location-mapping accuracy of 100% and achieves decimeter-level localization precision with a moving object in uncontrolled lighting conditions. Moreover, these unique signatures can be combined with other RF-based technologies to enhance their localization accuracy. As an example, this paper details the integration of Bluetooth features with light signatures using a three-stage incremental learning approach.
