This week we spent time researching the various technologies and algorithms that could be useful in indoor localization and navigation. Overall, our findings reveal that high localization accuracy indoors might be able to be achieved in reality.
The project is still in an early planning phase, hence, we have chosen to pivot from using Wi-Fi to using UWB due to the hopes of being able to achieve higher accuracy and precision in localization. Finally, we also discussed the complexity of the project and are possibly investigating methods that could expand the scope of the project. For example, other localization techniques, such as doing computer vision on the surroundings of the user, could also accurately localize the user. Effecting such sensor fusion of UWB and CV could improve the accuracy of localization.
We are still in the midst of discussing how best to go forward and will create an updated schedule for next week.
