Abstract

Indoor Positioning System (IPS) can be developed by using different wireless technologies with different positioning techniques. One of the popular areas of study is the Wi-Fi fingerprinting based IPS because it has high flexibility. However, the implementation of a fingerprint based IPS required obtaining a fingerprint database beforehand. Manually performing data acquisition to obtain a fingerprint database requires a signif-icant amount of time and workforce. Thus, this paper presented a method to perform data acquisition automatically by utilizing the tiled floor characteristic. Furthermore, the fingerprint database constructed was utilized to perform studies on the impact of fingerprint patterns and errors in the location tag of fingerprints on the positioning accuracy of neural networks. Studies show that neural network models presented smaller positioning errors when fingerprints used are with environmental reading formed by RSS from more Wi-Fi anchors. Studies also show that when the location tag of fingerprints used for neural network models training consists of errors, positioning accuracy when validated with fingerprints in the validation set (errorless) depends on the type of error. The location tag of fingerprints used for training suffering large mean errors will significantly impact validation positioning accuracy compared with large standard deviation errors.
