Description

Optical indoor positioning method and positioning device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optics and signal processing, and particularly relates to an optical indoor positioning method and a positioning device for realizing accurate positioning of a receiver space position by utilizing a light source array with specially modulated light intensity.
Background
In increasingly complex urban environments, there is an increasing demand for location information, and location technology is therefore of particular importance. The personnel are precisely positioned under special environments, and information exchange is carried out, so that the working efficiency can be greatly improved, and the loss is reduced. Especially in environments such as disaster sites and the like, high-risk building rescue tasks and the like.
Outdoor positioning technology based on global satellite navigation systems is now quite mature. The IEEE reports that Broadcom semiconductors claim that they can already use the GPS signal system to provide navigation services to mobile devices with an accuracy of up to 30 cm. In dense communities, interiors of buildings, airport halls, exhibition halls, warehouses, supermarkets, libraries, underground parking lots, mines, etc., it is often necessary to determine location information of facilities, mobile terminals or their holders, and articles indoors. However, satellite positioning systems cannot function effectively due to limitations in terms of positioning time, positioning accuracy, and complex environments. In an environment where satellite positioning cannot be used, such as indoors, people use an indoor positioning technology as an auxiliary method for realizing positioning, so that the problems that satellite signals are weak and cannot penetrate a building when reaching the ground are solved. Based on the above situation, indoor positioning technology is receiving more and more attention.
The indoor environment is more complex than the outdoor environment. The layout, internal structure, building materials, finishing materials, decorative articles, etc. of the building can have an effect on the effective indoor positioning. At present, several indoor positioning technologies are proposed to meet the requirements and applications in different occasions. Common indoor positioning technologies include ultrasonic positioning technology, infrared positioning technology, wireless local area network (WIFI) positioning technology, bluetooth positioning technology, and the like. The ultrasonic positioning technology is used for ranging according to the time difference between the echo wave and the emission wave, has high positioning precision, but needs to arrange a large number of measuring devices in space, and has high positioning cost; the infrared light-based positioning technology realizes positioning by detecting azimuth angle and pitch angle, and the positioning technology has short propagation distance and rapidly reduces positioning accuracy along with the increase of distance; the emerging WIFI positioning technology with the development of the Internet is used for positioning by measuring the distance from a user to a wireless hotspot, is easy to be interfered by other signals, and has higher energy consumption; the Bluetooth positioning technology is used for positioning by measuring the intensity of a received signal, is only suitable for positioning in a short distance and a small range, and has poor stability. In addition, there is a research report of indoor positioning technology based on visible light, and the technology has the advantages of economy, high positioning precision and the like, but the system related to the technology reported at present is complex, and the development prospect is limited.
