Graph-based WiFi trajectory analysis achieves 68.97% accuracy in floor separation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel graph-based method for distinguishing between floors in multi-story indoor environments using WiFi signal data. The approach constructs a graph from WiFi fingerprints and their transitions, then uses Node2Vec to create embeddings that are clustered with k-means to identify distinct floors. This method achieved 68.97% accuracy on the Huawei University Challenge 2021 dataset, outperforming traditional algorithms. The team has made the dataset and code publicly available to foster further research in indoor positioning. AI

IMPACT This research offers a new technique for indoor localization, potentially improving location-based services in complex multi-story buildings.
