Abstract
A method for determining location of a target within an indoor environment, including the steps of: classifying a set of anchors having known locations within the indoor environment and a set of targets having unknown locations within the indoor environment, wherein each of the anchors and targets comprise hardware having sensors and wireless communication capabilities; creating a set of ordinal pair data sets comprising relative distances between each target and all anchors; ranking and aggregating the ordinal pair data sets to produce a set of dissimilarities that approximate distances; transforming the dissimilarities into estimated distances between each anchor and target using the known distances between the anchors as calibration; and inferring location of targets by formulating and solving a multidimensional unfolding optimization.
