Key insights include the Positive Weighted Centroid Localisation (PWCL) algorithm, which prioritises stronger signals, and the HYBRID-MAPPED method, which integrates multiple filtering techniques like outlier detection and mapping filters. These methods were tested in a real-world environment with 47 sample points, employing Bluetooth LE based iBeacon devices to collect data. The experimental setup included mapping a space onto a coordinate system and implementing four localisation strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n

Results demonstrated that PWCL outperformed the traditional Weighted Centroid Localisation (WCL) algorithm by reducing errors. The HYBRID-MAPPED approach achieved the highest accuracy with an average error of 1.44 metres, a significant improvement over WCL’s 2.51 metres. The study’s findings underscore the effectiveness of combining BLE with filtering techniques to overcome noise and environmental challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research highlights potential applications in healthcare, retail, and other public settings, where accurate indoor localisation is critical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
