- Abstract summary: Smartphones have become a popular tool for indoor localization and position estimation of users.
Existing solutions mainly employ Wi-Fi, RFID, and magnetic sensing techniques to track movements in crowded venues.
We present an extended version of that algorithm for multi-superstructure localization, which covers a broader localization area of the user.

- Abstract: Smartphones have become a popular tool for indoor localization and position
estimation of users. Existing solutions mainly employ Wi-Fi, RFID, and magnetic
sensing techniques to track movements in crowded venues. These are highly
sensitive to magnetic clutters and depend on local ambient magnetic fields,
which frequently degrades their performance. Also, these techniques often
require pre-known mapping surveys of the area, or the presence of active
beacons, which are not always available. We embed small-volume and large-moment
magnets in pre-known locations and arrange them in specific geometric
constellations that create magnetic superstructure patterns of supervised
magnetic signatures. These signatures constitute an unambiguous magnetic
environment with respect to the moving sensor carrier. The localization
algorithm learns the unique patterns of the scattered magnets during training
and detects them from the ongoing streaming of data during localization. Our
contribution is twofold. First, we deploy passive permanent magnets that do not
require a power supply, in contrast to active magnetic transmitters. Second, we
perform localization based on smartphone motion rather than on static
positioning of the magnetometer. In our previous study, we considered a single
superstructure pattern. Here, we present an extended version of that algorithm
for multi-superstructure localization, which covers a broader localization area
of the user. Experimental results demonstrate localization accuracy of 95% with
a mean localization error of less than 1m using artificial intelligence.

information: a case study of magnetic navigation [0.0]
Two machine-learning architectures, reservoir computing and time-delayed feed-forward neural networks, can be exploited for detecting the Earth's anomaly magnetic field in a GPS-denied environment.
We exploit the machine-learning model of random forests that combines the output of multiple decision trees to give optimal values of the physical quantities of interest.
We show that the random-forest algorithm performs remarkably well in detecting the weak anomaly field and in filtering the position of the aircraft.

Tracking passive magnetic markers plays a vital role in advancing healthcare and robotics, offering the potential to significantly improve the precision and efficiency of systems.
Traditionally, the tracking of magnetic markers is computationally expensive due to the requirement for iterative optimization procedures.
This paper introduces a novel approach that leverages neural networks to bypass these limitations, directly inferring the marker's position and orientation to accurately determine the magnet's 5 DoF.

We use methods of Recurrence Plots, Gramian Angular Fields and Markov Transition Fields to represent magnetic field time series as image sequences.
For the second setup, we analyze how magnetic field data get
