Abstract

Location fingerprinting (LF) is an attractive localization technique which relies on existing infrastructures. The major drawback of LF is the requirement of having an updated fingerprint database. Gaussian Process (GP) is a non-parametric modeling technique which can be used to model the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and create the fingerprint database based on few training data. In this paper we use a parametric pathloss model for the GP mean and a flexible non-parametric covariance function, so we can get reliable estimates with low fingerprinting effort. In our experiment, we show that with 23 fingerprint locations we perform as well as traditional fingerprinting with over 230 fingerprinted locations for an office space of 2500m2.
