Abstract:
In this paper, dynamic object binding is proposed to improve the opportunistic localisation system. Object binding will be realised using Bluetooth. Many different techniques are already fused in the opportunistic localisation system, since Bluetooth is integrated in almost all mobile devices, this sensor will be incorporated in the opportunistic localisation fusion algorithm. In order to correctly use Bluetooth for object binding, some important features like operating range, influence of obstacles and scan time are analysed. A new measurement model is added to the particle filter engine to process incoming Bluetooth data. The client devices are continually scanning for other adjacent Bluetooth devices, this information is sent to the server where the client device position is estimated, based on the other adjacent Bluetooth devices, which are located through other means. This way object binding is realised.
