Abstract :
Indoor geolocation is subject to much more stringent constraints for military applications than for commercial applications. The principal constraints that must be assumed are the absence of a map of the interior of the building, reference points inside the building, and any a priori information or data. The global positioning system (GPS), although potentially invaluable, must be assumed to be unavailable to maintain operational flexibility. This paper explores the possibility of using dead-reckoning and filtering alone to track a mobile´s path inside a building. Kalman, particle, and grid filters are designed and tested with actual data to assess which filter type is the most suitable and the potential accuracy of the indoor geolocation method.
