New transfer learning framework boosts VLC indoor localization accuracy

Researchers have developed a novel transfer learning framework to improve indoor localization accuracy in Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems, particularly for Industry 4.0 applications. This framework significantly reduces the amount of data needed for deployment by fine-tuning pre-trained deep neural networks on a smaller subset of target area measurements, recovering over 97% of full-data performance. A new metric, the Transfer Efficiency Score (TES), is introduced to identify the most effective source models for transfer, leading to localization errors as low as 40.9 cm and demonstrating strong generalization capabilities.
