Humanitas is a Canadian company which provides various innovative technologies and products for Internet of**Things (IoT), data analytics, and advanced communications. The company has recently developed several**innovative technologies including IoT manager, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mission planner, and 3D**geographic information system (GIS). Humanitas is currently interested in developing robust wireless**localization techniques to accurately locate mobile devices' locations by exploiting both wireless**communications infrastructure and UAVs. The developed localization techniques will be integrated into the**company's UAV and communications based ecosystem to enable new applications and provide the company a**competitive edge. The company strongly desires to establish the partnership with the NECPHY-Lab through**this NSERC Engage project thanks to the expertise available in the research lab. The objective of this project is**to develop robust and highly accurate mobile localization techniques which leverage both infrastructure based**anchors (i.e., cellular base stations, WiFi access points) and flying UAVs. We plan to develop a two-phase**UAV-assisted wireless location framework which employs the deep learning technique for processing and**estimating the mobile location. Performance evaluation of the developed framework will be conducted and**optimization and calibration of the design will be performed to reach the best design. The data collected during**the project period and the developed software realizing the proposed wireless localization algorithms will be**transferred to the company for being integrated into the company products, which can significantly benefit the**company. The project also enables us to train three HQP in a highly sought-after area.

Humanitas是一家加拿大公司，为物联网（IoT）、数据分析和高级通信提供各种创新技术和产品。该公司最近开发了几项创新技术，包括物联网管理器、无人机（UAV）任务规划器、3D地理信息系统（GIS）。Humanitas目前有兴趣开发强大的无线定位技术，通过利用无线通信基础设施和无人机来准确定位移动设备的位置。开发的定位技术将集成到该公司的无人机和基于通信的生态系统中，以实现新的应用并为该公司提供竞争优势。该公司强烈希望通过**这个NSERC参与项目与necphy实验室建立合作伙伴关系，这要归功于研究实验室的专业知识。该项目的目标是开发强大且高度精确的移动定位技术，该技术利用基于基础设施的锚点（即蜂窝基站，WiFi接入点）和飞行无人机。我们计划开发一个两阶段的无人机辅助无线定位框架，该框架采用深度学习技术来处理和估计移动位置。将对开发的框架进行性能评估，并对设计进行**优化和校准，以达到最佳设计。**项目期间收集的数据和开发的实现所提出的无线定位算法的软件将**转移到公司，并集成到公司产品中，这将使**公司受益匪浅。该项目还使我们能够在一个非常受欢迎的地区培训三名HQP。
