Abstract

WPS(Wifi Positioning System) conducts positioning using wireless signals scattered in real world. This process is divided into two stages: Construction Stage that collects information on wireless signals for determining location and constructs a radio map and Positioning Stage that compares the constructed information with the collected information on wireless signals. WPS lowers the accuracy of positioning if changes occur to the collected signals during positioning. PDR have recently been studied. IPS is a system designed to find out the final destination by analyzing pedestrian's no. of gait, travel range, and direction through inertial sensors. If the positioning results of WPS appear in more than two locations, it can be thought as the problem of positioning accuracy. In some cases, problems occur. In this respect, this study analyzes the situations in which the problem as mentioned above occurs and proposes a system to solve this problem through PDR.

WPS는 현실세계에 산재한 무선 신호를 활용하여 측위를 수행한다. 측위 위치의 무선 신호 정보를 수집하여 radio map을 구성하는 구축단계, 구성된 정보와 수집된 무선 신호를 비교하는 측위 단계로 나누어진다. WPS는 측위 시 수집된 신호에 변화가 나타날 경우 측위 정확도의 하락을 가지고 온다. PDR은 관성 센서들을 활용하여 보행자의 걸음걸이 수, 이동거리, 방향을 분석하여 최종 이동지를 분석하는 시스템이다. WPS의 측위 결과가 두 개 이상의 위치로 나타날 경우 측위 정확도의 문제로 판단할 수 있다. 몇몇의 조건에서 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 앞서 언급한 문제점이 발생하는 상황에 대하여 분석하고 이를 PDR을 통해서 보정하는 시스템에 대하여 제안한다. 이 복합측위를 적용할 경우 WPS에 문제가 발생할 경우에도 측위 정확도를 유지하거나 향상 시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
