Thesis proposal – Magnetic flux indoor localization system using fingerprint technology

Titel: 

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and magnetic flux indoor localization system using fingerprint technology.

Background

Are you tired of getting lost in large supermarkets or warehouses, can’t you find what you are looking for or are you visiting a new store you haven’t been to? In today’s fast-moving world, no one wants to feel like they are wasting time. Imagine never again feeling the frustration of spending time looking for a specific item or directions, say goodbye to that frustration and hello to peace of mind!

We’d like to develop a cutting-edge positioning system utilizing Wi-fi, Bluetooth and magnetic flux with fingerprint algorithms to determine a person’s position in a pre-defined floorplan.

The use of WiFi or Bluetooth for indoor localization has become commonplace with multiple actors on the market, but what if multi-source localization can further improve the performance?

We foresee the student utilizing multiple Wi-fi and Bluetooth beacons in combination with magnetic flux sensors to collect, process and compare data with help of fingerprint algorithms. Based on the findings, present the advantages and disadvantages of the different methodologies.

Don’t let the frustration of feeling lost ruin your day. Embrace the future of convenience with state-of-the-art positioning system and experience the peace of mind that comes with always knowing where you are.

Proposed research question:

• What advantages and disadvantages do the different methodologies have?
• Any benefits with using multi-source localization methodology?

Features:

• Utilization of BLE & Wi-Fi protocols
• Fingerprint algorithms
• Magnetic flux
• Toolchain utilization
• Setting up grids of beacon in an office environment
• Collect, store, and analyse data.

For a successful thesis work, we believe that the applicants should:

• Have a background in either Software- or Embedded Engineering.

We will only accept one student per assignment.

Application:

We look forward to receiving your resume, and preferably, a personal letter in which you explain why you want to write your thesis with Syntronic.

We screen and evaluate applications on an ongoing basis.
