Wireless Positioning Algorithm Based on Light Emitting Diode Lights and Camera Calibration
Considering the poor precision performance and high cost of the current wireless positioning algorithms, and combined with light emitting diode (LED) lights based visible light communication (VLC) system, a new wireless positioning algorithm based on camera calibration and with high precision is proposed, in vew of camera distortion effect, non- isotropic, assembly deviation on captured pictures. This algorithm could calculate the receiver′ s position, as well as its posture, with the position relationship to the LEDs, and LED position generated through the VLC system, and improve the anti- interference performance of VLC system through tracking and pointing. Experimental results show that this algorithm could achieve a positioning precision of a centimeter level, and generate relatively accurate posture information less than 5°. In addition, the bit error rate of the VLC with tracking and pointing performs two orders of magnitude better than the one with merely tracking, and improves the anti-interference capability and stability of the VLC system.
