Data and Knowledge Twin Driven Integration for Large-Scale Device-Free Localization
Jie Zhang, Wendong Xiao, Yanjiao Li
Abstract
Device-free localization (DFL) is becoming one of the attractive techniques in wireless sensing field, due to its advantage that the target does not need to be attached to any electronic device. However, most of the existed approaches for DFL can only obtain satisfactory localization performance in specific small area, they cannot function well when implemented to complex and large area. In order to tackle this issue, in this article, a hierarchical framework is developed for large-scale DFL based on data and knowledge twin driven integration, which consists of two phases, including the offline training phase and the online localization phase. In the offline training phase, the complex and large monitoring area is first divided into some subdomains by the K-means clustering algorithm, and then training corresponding number of broad learning (BL)-based DFL models for each subdomain using the Fresnel phase difference as the fingerprints. Meanwhile, a class-specific cost regulation extreme learning machine (CCR-ELM) classifier is also trained for determining the attribution of the reference points, which can alleviate the impacts of imbalanced data distribution on classification results. In the online localization phase, the attributions of the testing points are first judged through the trained CCR-ELM classifier, after that, estimating the target's location in the corresponding subdomains using BL-based DFL models. The validity of the proposed hierarchical framework is evaluated both in small and larger areas, respectively.
