Abstract
A ranging-type positioning system and a ranging-type positioning method based on crowdsourced calibration are provided. In a crowdsourcing stage, pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) is performed based on readings of inertial measurement units on a mobile device, a particle filter (PF) is executed to reconstruct a path of the mobile device with map information of the target field, and FTM data records are collected. Then, a ranging model based on a neural network can be used to calibrate and inversely infer approximate locations of unknown base stations. The optimized ranging model can estimate estimated distances and standard deviations based on the FTM data records obtained in the crowdsourcing stage. In a positioning stage, a position of a to-be-positioned mobile device can be positioned by having the ranging model operated in cooperation with the PDR and the PF.
