• 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.

  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.

  This paper presents an improved DETR detector that maintains a "plain" nature. It uses a single-scale feature map and global cross-attention calculations without specific locality constraints. We show that two simple technologies are surprisingly effective within a plain design to compensate for the lack of multi-scale feature maps and locality constraints.
