Abstract

The tracking of objects in external environments is well established in the literature. Various approaches are based on the data provided by satellite navigation systems. However, this type of technology does not offer the accuracy and precision needed for the location and tracking of objects inside buildings, factories, hospitals, or any other place that is not open-air. This paper presents a novel hybrid low-cost architecture for locating and tracking objects in indoor environments. The proposed solution is based on the concepts of the internet of things, modularity, and low energy consumption, aiming to enhance the usability of the tracking system by using only off-the-shelf components that are easily purchasable and inexpensive. The experimental results indicate high accuracy and the robustness in sending and receiving data, making it feasible to locate objects in indoor environments with obstacles.

iLocator - 基于物联网的低成本混合架构，用于跟踪和定位室内环境中的物体

跟踪外部环境中的物体在文献中已有明确记载。各种方法都是基于卫星导航系统提供的数据。然而，这类技术无法提供建筑物、工厂、医院或任何其他非露天场所内物体定位和跟踪所需的准确度和精确度。本文提出了一种新型低成本混合架构，用于在室内环境中定位和跟踪物体。所提出的解决方案基于物联网、模块化和低能耗的概念，旨在通过仅使用易于购买且价格低廉的现成组件来提高跟踪系统的可用性。实验结果表明，该系统在发送和接收数据时具有较高的准确性和鲁棒性，使其能够在有障碍物的室内环境中定位物体。
