Movement localization in indoor environments by means of light and air pressure sensors

Distance-based techniques for localization require large amounts of configuration or complex computations, rendering such systems too expensive for consumer use. Alternative methods such as Radio Signal Strength profiling (RSS) provide a cheap alternative, but these sensors still require fine-tuning. By investigating the use of cheaper and more readily available light and air pressure sensors, this paper will attempt to localize a moving object. This system uses light and pressure sensors to collect data. The system is validated using Thingy:52’s but is not specifically tailored to this platform.
