Hybrid CNN-LSTM based Indoor Pedestrian Localization with CSI Fingerprint Maps
Muhammad Emad-ud-din
The paper presents a novel Wi-Fi fingerprinting system that uses Channel State Information (CSI) data for fine-grained pedestrian localization. The proposed system exploits the frequency diversity and spatial diversity of the features extracted from CSI data to generate a 2D+channel image termed as a CSI Fingerprint Map. We then use this CSI Fingerprint Map representation of CSI data to generate a pedestrian trajectory hypothesis using a hybrid architecture that combines a Convolutional Neural Network and a Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network model. The proposed architecture exploits the temporal and spatial relationship information among the CSI data observations gathered at neighboring locations. A particle filter is then employed to separate out the most likely hypothesis matching a human walk model. The experimental performance of our method is compared to existing deep learning localization methods such ConFi, DeepFi and to a self-developed temporal-feature based LSTM based location classifier. The experimental results show marked improvement with an average RMSE of 0.36 m in a moderately dynamic and 0.17 m in a static environment. Our method is essentially a proof of concept that with (1) sparse availability of observations, (2) limited infrastructure requirements, (3) moderate level of short-term and long-term noise in the training and testing environment, reliable fine-grained Wi-Fi based pedestrian localization is a potential option.
