Abstract

Localization plays an important role in many applications. One of the positioning systems developed for indoor environments is İÇKON that can calculate the position of an object at cm accuracy by using pure ultrasonic signals. In this study, the ICKON system is switched to wireless sensor network to reduce setup time, and a mobile application is developed to determine transmitter positions. Switching to wireless infrastructure also provides to use the existing wireless communication infrastructure in indoor environments.
