The indoor positioning system includes a gyroscope, a digital compass, an accelerometer, a distance sensor and a processor; an indoor map of the building is stored in the processor. Dead reckoning is performed to obtain an estimated position of the object on the map. An target area around the estimated position is selected on the map. Several measurements between the object and walls of the building are performed to obtain an actual distance data. The unique point inside the target area which matches the actual distance data is used the actual position of the object.
