在本文中，我们解决的挑战，强大的室内定位使用集成UWB和Wi-Fi测量。任何融合算法的一个关键限制是描述测量中的随机误差的分布是否已被正确指定。在这里，我们描述了一组实际的实验进行的一个专门建立的校准范围的细节，以评估商业UWB传感器的性能与Wi-Fi测量所捕获的内部智能手机应用程序。在本文中，我们提出了UWB传感器和内置到智能手机的Wi-Fi的范围从机器人全站仪获得的真实范围的比较。该方法在静态和运动学测试中得到了验证。校准范围已被确定为室内实验室的一个组成部分，以进行更多样化的研究议程，进入强大的室内定位系统。这里提出的实验已经在FIG（WG5.5）和IAG（SC4.2）联合工作组的多传感器系统下合作进行。
In this paper, we address the challenge of robust indoor positioning using integrated UWB and Wi-Fi measurements. A key limitation of any fusion algorithm is whether the distribution that describes the random errors in the measurements has been correctly specified. Here, we describe the details of a set of practical experiments conducted on a purpose built calibration range, to evaluate the performance of commercial UWB sensors with Wi-Fi measurements as captured by an in-house smartphone application. In this paper, we present comparisons of ranges from the UWB sensors and the Wi-Fi built into the smartphone to true ranges obtained from a robotic total station. This approach is validated in both static and kinematic tests. The calibration range has been established as one component of an indoor laboratory to undertake a more diverse research agenda into robust indoor positioning systems. The experiments presented here have been conducted collaboratively under the joint FIG (WG5.5) and IAG (SC4.2) working groups on multi-sensor systems.
