Title
FiDo: Ubiquitous Fine-Grained WiFi-based Localization for Unlabelled Users via Domain Adaptation
Abstract
To fully support the emerging location-aware applications, location information with meter-level resolution (or even higher) is required anytime and anywhere. Unfortunately, most of the current location sources (e.g., GPS and check-in data) either are unavailable indoor or provide only house-level resolutions. To fill the gap, this paper utilizes the ubiquitous WiFi signals to establish a (sub)meter-level localization system, which employs WiFi propagation characteristics as location fingerprints. However, an unsolved issue of these WiFi fingerprints lies in their inconsistency across different users. In other words, WiFi fingerprints collected from one user may not be used to localize another user. To address this issue, we propose a WiFi-based Domain-adaptive system FiDo, which is able to localize many different users with labelled data from only one or two example users. FiDo contains two modules: 1) a data augmenter that introduces data diversity using a Variational Autoencoder (VAE); and 2) a domain-adaptive classifier that adjusts itself to newly collected unlabelled data using a joint classification-reconstruction structure. Compared to the state of the art, FiDo increases average F1 score by 11.8% and improves the worst-case accuracy by 20.2%.
