Description
Summary:To achieve high accuracy in indoor positioning using a smartphone, there are two limitations: (1) limited computational and memory resources of the smartphone and (2) the human walking in large buildings. To address these issues, we propose a new feature descriptor by deeply combining histogram of oriented gradients and local phase quantization. This feature is a local phase quantization of a salient histogram of oriented gradient visualizing image, which is robust in indoor scenarios. Moreover, we introduce a base station–based indoor positioning system for assisting to reduce the image matching at runtime. The experimental results show that accurate and efficient indoor location positioning is achieved.
