Device-Free Localization and Identification Using Sub-GHz Passive Radio Mapping
The research domain of device-free localization (DFL) is centered on the study of localization techniques which do not require targets to wear any kind of device. Passive radio mapping or passive fingerprinting is an example of a training-based DFL technique which uses the impact of a human target on radio frequency (RF) communication between stationary nodes to perform localization. We describe a set of experiments performed in a 42 m2 empty office environment in which we installed a RF network with nodes communicating on the 433 MHz and 868 MHz bands. We attempted to locate a single stationary human target based solely on signal strength measurements and did so for six different participants using two different fingerprinting methods. One method was based on Euclidean distance minimization while the other made use of a naive Bayesian classifier. We investigated the impact of frequency band, number of nodes and target body type on localization accuracy. Results indicated that a root mean square error of 48 cm could be obtained with only four nodes, provided that the data from both frequency bands was combined. Additionally, we investigated the potential of these fingerprinting approaches to distinguish between targets based on body type and perform a rudimentary form of passive identification. Accuracy rates for identification could vary significantly depending on target location, with results ranging from 0.07 to 0.75 in the exact same environment. However, the experiment participant with the lowest height and weight could be distinguished from the other participants in over 90% of cases.
