Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid indoor localization framework that fuses Wi-Fi and inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensing on commodity devices. We designed a convolutional neural network and a long short-term memory network to extract motion increments from IMU measurements, while a graph neural network is used to refine Wi-Fi-based location based on round-trip time (RTT) and received signal strength (RSS). The location and the corresponding increment are integrated through a scale-factor-adaptive Kalman filter to achieve high-accuracy trajectory estimation. Real-world experiments in mixed line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) environments demonstrate that the proposed system achieves sub-meter localization accuracy and is more robust than baselines, including Wi-Fi only method, IMU only method, conventional Kalman filter (KF) and dead reckoning algorithm.
