Summary: | This Final Year Report describes the design, implementation and test of an
indoor localization system using Cricket Mote sensors. Unlike the existing
commercialized Cricket Mote localization system, the adapted version improves the
tracking accuracy by using an active mode approach, rather than using a passive
mode where tracking a moving object at high speed is difficult. The new system also
eliminates the need to attach a host device when the object is moving by utilizing
radio communications between the motes. Furthermore, the mote used as a moving
object is installed with multiple US (Ultrasound) sensors to increase the US coverage
area and reduce the number of sensors needed to be deployed. The system serves as a
test-bed and provides location information to an online centralized database through
the web services Java API (Application Programming Interface), which enables other
location awareness web applications to easily access the position data. |
