Abstract
A system of determining a location of a mobile electronic device in an indoor environment includes an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium having one or more programming instructions. The system determines an initial position of a mobile electronic device in an indoor environment and an initial heading of the mobile electronic device, initializes a set of particles, determines a relative location of the mobile electronic device, detects a move associated with the mobile electronic device, creates a subset of the set of particles based on the move, determines a distance between the relative location and a nearest obstacle that is encountered along a path. The system filters the particles in the subset, estimates an actual location of the mobile electronic device, and causes a visual indication of the actual location to be displayed to a user via a display of the mobile electronic device.
