Abstract
Wireless indoor positioning systems have become very popular in recent years. These systems have been successfully used in many applications such as asset tracking and inventory management. This paper provides an overview of the existing wireless indoor positioning solutions and attempts to classify different techniques and systems. Three typical location estimation schemes of triangulation, scene analysis, and proximity are analyzed. We also discuss location fingerprinting in detail since it is used in most current system or solutions. We then examine a set of properties by which location systems are evaluated, and apply this evaluation method to survey a number of existing systems. Comprehensive performance comparisons including accuracy, precision, complexity, scalability, robustness, and cost are presented.

Modeling the information completeness of object tracking systems

TL;DR: An analytical model is proposed that evaluates the information completeness of object tracking systems based on their size, breadth and reading depth, showing that the larger size of a system's configuration does not ensure better completeness; instead, the effect of reading depth is greater.
