Project Map of DLC

Overview

This is still a very early stage of POC. With a pre-defined datasets, with many WIFI APP signal strengths data try to prdict the real location of the indoor room.

This might be the first POC try to define our input and output data formats.

Also, this POC also be a high level connector of several different components together since it will leaverage multi factor information to conclude a precise indoor locationing.

When it comes to localization within buildings, a distinction can be made between client-based (Active tracking) and server-based positioning ( Passive tracking + Active tracking as optional). Client-based localization enables determining the position directly on the end user’s device (e. g. smartphone). In the case of server-based localization, positioning takes place on a server.

Technologies for Client-Based Indoor Positioning

Client-Based Indoor Positioning Compared: Wi-Fi vs. BLE vs. UWB vs. RFID vs. Ultrasound

Technology Accuracy Range
WIFI <15m <150m
BLE 4 <8m <75m
BLE 5.1 <1m <75m
UWB <30cm <150m
RFID Present detection only <1m

Technologies for Server-Based Indoor Positioning

Server-Based Indoor Positioning Compared: Wi-Fi vs. BLE vs. UWB vs. RFID vs. Ultrasound

Technology Accuracy Range
WIFI <15m <150m
BLE 4 <8m <75m
BLE 5.1 <1m <75m
UWB <30cm <150m
RFID Present detection only <1m
Ultrasound <4m <8m or Wall
Indoor Positioning Technology Comments
Client-Based No server setup. Use existing framework. but, low precision
Server-Based (Passive tracking only) Server only. 3-5 sec delay. Not realtime application
Server-Based (Passive+Active tracking) Need sever+client to get hybrid info for realtime & stable location info

Deeper insights of Client-Based Indoor Positioning

Indoor Positioning Use Cases

Many different use cases.

POC using find3

Git Repo Status Progress Comments
find3 status progress Family=barco
API:Devices by Loc (w 1 mins)

Get info of device=’dlc2.barco.com’ & family=’barco’ from find3 server

curl -s -L -XGET "http://dlc1.barco.com:8005/api/v1/location_basic/barco/dlc2.barco.com"

Get WIFI/BT SSID, BSSID, RSSID of the location and device

curl -XGET http://dlc1.barco.com:8005/api/v1/location/barco/dlc2.barco.com

Get all devices within 1 minsfrom family=’barco’ from find3 server and output it as a table

curl -s -L -XGET "http://dlc1.barco.com:8005/api/v1/by_location/barco?history=1&num_scanners=1" | jq -s '.[] | .locations | .[] |.devices' | jsoncsv -A  | mkexcel | csvcut  -d , -C 5  |csvlook --snifflimit 0  | sudo tee output.txt

Update GPS info of location ‘Aris Cube’ (device=dlc2.barco.com)

curl -s -L -XPOST "http://dlc1.barco.com:8005/api/v1/gps" -H "Content-Type:application/json" --data-binary '{"f":"Barco","l":"Aris Cube","gps":{"lat":25.01290,"lon":121.46701,"alt":0}}'

Delete family=barco data (Dangersous operation!!! Warning!!!)

 curl -s -L -XDELETE "http://dlc1.barco.com:8005/api/v1/database/barco"

Block diagram of find3

Signal strength (dBm) Expected Quality
-90 Chances of connecting are very low at this level
-80 Unreliable signal strength
-67 Reliable signal strength– the edge of what Cisco considers to be adequate to support Voice over WLAN
-55 Anything down to this level can be considered excellent signal strength.
-30 Maximum signal strength, you are probably standing right next to the access point.
