LED Visible Light Communication Indoor Positioning Method Based on Mobile Phone at Any Horizontal Orientation

Abstract

LED visible light communication indoor positioning method based on the mobile phone at any horizontal orientation angle. The system includes a single LED downlight, a mobile phone orientation sensor, a mobile phone front single camera and a positioning system. The steps include: the orientation sensor of the handset is used to measure the orientation of the handset in the horizontal direction; the developed camera is used to call the front camera of the handset to record the LED downlight image; and the image is processed and decoded to obtain the ID information of the LED downlight, which is the three-dimensional position coordinates information of the downlight in the indoor space. Take the previously obtained information including the handset horizontal orientation and downlight ID information into the developed indoor positioning method to obtain the real-time accurate position of the mobile phone. The positioning method is simple and easy to operate. The mobile phone can be accurately positioned in real time at any horizontal orientation angle just by using the front camera of mobile phone in the case of just a single LED downlight. This method overcomes the problem that even if the position of the camera is kept unchanged, the positioning result of the mobile phone is different due to the difference of the horizontal orientation of the mobile phone. This method is more feasible and accurate.
