Convolutional Model with a Time Series Feature Based on RSSI Analysis with the Markov Transition Field for Enhancement of Location Recognition
Hyunji Lee, Jaeho Lee
Abstract
Although numerous schemes, including learning-based approaches, have attempted to determine a solution for location recognition in indoor environments using RSSI, they suffer from the severe instability of RSSI. Compared with the solutions obtained by recurrent-approached neural networks, various state-of-the-art solutions have been obtained using the convolutional neural network (CNN) approach based on feature extraction considering indoor conditions. Complying with such a stream, this study presents the image transformation scheme for the reasonable outcomes in CNN, obtained from practical RSSI with artificial Gaussian noise injection. Additionally, it presents an appropriate learning model with consideration of the characteristics of time series data. For the evaluation, a testbed is constructed, the practical raw RSSI is applied after the learning process, and the performance is evaluated with results of about 46.2% enhancement compared to the method employing only CNN.
