Description

Multi-floor indoor positioning method based on Softmax regression multi-classification recognizer
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless local area networks and indoor positioning, and particularly relates to a multi-floor indoor positioning method based on WiFi and Softmax regression multi-classification recognizers.
Background
The progress of the era stimulates people's desire to acquire precise positions anytime and anywhere, and the desire is further intensified by the era of the internet of things. As a result, indoor positioning systems have penetrated many aspects of modern life, such as indoor navigation, in-store shopping guide, item tracking, and other related activities. In recent years, with the wide-range deployment of wireless communication systems in indoor environments, indoor wireless positioning technologies have attracted more and more research interests, and various wireless indoor positioning technologies, such as wireless local area network WiFi, bluetooth, sensor networks, Ultra Wide Band (UWB), radio frequency identification tags (RFID), etc., have emerged, and the positioning accuracy thereof varies from several meters to tens of meters. In addition to the positioning accuracy, the cost of the device also becomes a consideration, at present, Wi-Fi RSS (received signal strength) based on IEEE 802.11n protocol standard is widely applied to indoor positioning systems due to its low price and easy availability, and the fingerprint positioning technology based on Wi-Fi RSS becomes the focus of the current indoor positioning technology research due to its advantages of no need of extra infrastructure, low cost, high positioning accuracy and the like.
In recent years, the urban space is becoming three-dimensional and complex, people's daily life, work and leisure are increasingly concentrated on high-rise buildings, and people pay more attention to floors and location information services contained therein. To date, most indoor positioning studies have been based on two-dimensional space, i.e., single-floor studies. For the measurement of floors in high-rise buildings, manual designation is generally adopted, and then two-dimensional space positioning is carried out, so that the intelligent degree of positioning application is greatly reduced. Therefore, intelligent and efficient multi-floor indoor positioning technology gradually receives extensive attention and research.
Currently, there are two main research directions for multi-floor indoor positioning technology: firstly, a positioning method for distinguishing multiple floors through a WiFi fingerprint database is based on the WiFi fingerprint database, a plurality of two classifiers are trained on reference position fingerprint sample data with the number of floors in an off-line stage (the common training methods comprise artificial neural network, Bayesian classification and K nearest neighbor), a floor discrimination model is obtained by combining a voting mechanism, and the to-be-positioned points are judged by using the obtained floor discrimination model in an on-line stage. However, as the number of ap (access point) and floors increases, the computational complexity of the method also increases. Secondly, the built-in barometer of smart mobile phone can detect the height on ground, but not all smart mobile phones all have the baroceptor, and the motion mode of people under the stair scene is very complicated, and the change law of barometer value is different under different speeds of motion, and the floor judges the accuracy lower.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the present invention are clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the multi-floor indoor positioning method based on Softmax regression multi-class recognizer provided by the present invention includes an offline phase and an online phase, wherein the offline phase includes the following steps:
step (1), establishing an RSS fingerprint database: the method comprises the following steps of performing grid division on multi-floor indoor areas, collecting RSS values of APs in each grid, and generating an RSS fingerprint database, wherein the method comprises the following specific operation steps:
step (1.1) setting N APs in a multi-floor indoor area, carrying out homogenization grid division on the multi-floor indoor area, dividing each floor into M grids, and enabling plane projection coordinates of the M grids of each floor to be the same;
step (1.2) uniformly selecting 6 sampling points in each grid, collecting the RSS value of each AP sensed by each sampling point for 5 times, and then sampling each grid for 6 multiplied by 5 times;
calculating the average value of the RSS values acquired by each sampling point in each grid, the average value of the RSS values of each grid and the average value of the RSS value of each AP in each grid of each floor;
due to the influence of indoor multipath (including noise, personnel walking and other objects), the RSS value of the collected AP has larger fluctuation, and the average value is adopted here, so that the error caused by fluctuation can be reduced;
step (1.3) forming an RSS fingerprint library by using a fingerprint sequence of a plurality of sampling points, wherein the fingerprint sequence of each sampling point is represented as [ F ]j,Gji,RSS1,RSS2,...,RSSr,...,RSSn]，FjIndicating the jth floor, GjiThe ith grid corresponding to the jth floor is represented, i is less than or equal to M, RSSrAnd representing the RSS value of the r-th AP collected by the sampling point, wherein N represents the number of the APs perceived by the sampling point, N is less than N, and j, i and r all represent independent variables.
Step (2) minimizing a cross entropy loss function: firstly, initializing parameters of a Softmax regression multi-classification recognizer, and establishing a floor discrimination model of the initial multi-classification recognizer; then classifying a plurality of floors in the detection area, and distributing a corresponding floor label for each floor; secondly, inputting a training data set with labels, constructing real probability distribution of training sample classes for each given sample according to the actual class label of the given sample, outputting the probability of the sample belonging to each class by using a discrimination function of a multi-classifier floor discrimination model, namely obtaining the predicted probability distribution of the training sample classes, and representing the similarity between the real class label distribution of a plurality of training samples and the class label distribution predicted by the model through a cross entropy loss function; finally, minimizing the cross entropy loss function by using a gradient descent method to obtain a corresponding model parameter when the loss function is minimized;
step (3) building a classifier floor discrimination model: constructing an optimal multi-classification recognizer floor discrimination model by using model parameters corresponding to the minimum value of the cross entropy loss function;
in the indoor positioning of multiple floors (the number of floors is more than or equal to 3), because the number of floors is more, the complexity and the difficulty of positioning are increased, the invention adopts the mode of converting the multi-floor judgment into the multi-class classification problem, and utilizes a Softmax multi-class recognizer to construct a floor judgment model so as to solve the problem of multiple floors and reduce the complexity of positioning.
The Softmax multi-classification recognizer converts a multi-floor judgment problem into a multi-class classification task to solve, namely firstly classifying a plurality of floors in a detection area and allocating a corresponding floor label to each floor; secondly, initializing parameters of a Softmax regression multi-classification recognizer, minimizing a cross entropy loss function by using a gradient descent method, and training parameters of an optimal multi-classifier to obtain the optimal Softmax multi-classification recognizer; during online positioning, floor prediction is carried out by using a floor discrimination model constructed based on a Softmax multi-classification recognizer, the probability that a positioning target belongs to each floor is calculated, and the floor corresponding to the maximum probability value is selected as a final classification result.
As shown in fig. 2, taking 3 floors (f1, f2, f3 represent 3 floors) as an example, first, a floor attribute sequence is input to a Softmax multi-class identifier floor discrimination model, the model outputs probability values (P1, P2, P3) that the targets are located at 3 floors, and the floor f3 corresponding to the maximum probability value P3 is the floor where the targets are located.
The floor attribute of each sample data refers to the average value of the RSS value of each grid of each AP in the corresponding floor in the sample data;
taking 3 floors, 2 APs per floor as an example, 3 floors are respectively represented by f1, f2 and f3, two APs of f1 are represented by AP1-1 and AP1-2, two APs of f2 are represented by AP2-1 and AP2-2, and two APs of f3 are represented by AP3-1 and AP3-2, and the signals of the floor and other floors AP can be received by the target at each floor. Taking floor f1 as an example, the target can receive information from AP1-1, AP1-2, AP2-1, AP2-2, AP3-1 and AP3-2 at floor f 1. The floor attributes of the floor f1 include RSS values received at a certain grid position of f1 by six APs (AP1-1, AP1-2, AP2-1, AP2-2, AP3-1, AP3-2), and taking 3 grids per floor as an example, RSS values received by the target at grid 1 from six APs (AP1-1, AP1-2, AP2-1, AP2-2, AP3-1, AP3-2) are 70.28, 68.67, 70.39, 72.72, 74.11, 71.50, respectively, so that the floor attributes of samples collected by the target at grid 1 of f1 are [70.28, 68.67, 70.39, 72.72, 74.11, 71.50], and the floor attributes of other floors (f2, f3) are analogized in turn. The actual RSS values are negative values, which are convenient to calculate and the negative sign is omitted.
The calculation formula of the category discrimination function in the Softmax multi-classification recognizer floor discrimination model is as follows:
Figure GDA0002198525200000071
wherein θ ═ θ1,θ2,…,θK) Parameters representing a Softmax multi-floor discrimination classifier model are obtained by calculation through a training sample constructed by an offline RSS fingerprint database, and an initial value is a random value in the training process; y is(i)A label representing a floor category; k represents the number of actual floors in the building; j represents the number of the middle floor of the building; x is the number of(i)Representing RSS values, p (y), of N APs collected at grid i of a floor(i)＝j|x(i)(ii) a Theta) represents x(i)Belongs to the predicted probability value collected at floor j;
Figure GDA0002198525200000072
representing a normalization function and T represents a transposition. The probability distribution is normalized such that the output elements are probability values between 0-1 and the sum of all probabilities is 1.
When the Softmax multi-classification recognizer floor discrimination model is trained, the real probability distribution is calculated according to the real floor labels of each group of training data, and then the floor attribute of each group of training data is substituted into the formula (1) to obtain the prediction probability distribution.
The invention adopts a multi-class classification strategy to solve the problem of multiple floors, and then adopts a gradient descent method to train a model. The principle of the Softmax multi-classification recognizer is that attributes of a sample set with labels are mapped into prediction probability distribution through a discriminant function, so that the probability distribution constructed according to a target real label is similar to the probability distribution predicted by the discriminant function as much as possible, when new samples are classified, the probability distribution of the new samples is predicted by the same discriminant function, and then the classes of the new samples are determined according to the probability maximum value in the prediction probability distribution.
The probability calculation formula for classifying the samples into different floors (f1, f2, f3) in the discriminant function is as follows:
Figure GDA0002198525200000081
wherein X represents X1、X2、X3Y represents different floor labels (f1, f2, f3), X1RSS value sets, X, representing targets collected at different grid locations in floor f12RSS value sets, X, representing targets collected at different grid locations in floor f23Representing the set of RSS values collected by the target at different grid locations in floor f 3.
At this time, the equation of the cross entropy loss function of the Softmax multi-classification recognizer floor discrimination model is as follows:
Figure GDA0002198525200000082
wherein m represents the total number of grids for all floors in the building; k represents the number of actual floors in the building; j represents one of the floors; 1 {. is an illustrative function, and its value rule is 1{ expression whose value is true } ═ 1, and 1{ expression whose value is false } ═ 0; 1{ y(i)J represents the true probability distribution of the sample; p (y)(i)＝j|x(i)(ii) a Theta) represents x(i)Belonging to the predicted probability value collected at floor j.
Obviously, the cross entropy loss function characterizes the difference between the predicted output and the true label of the sample set, and the closer the predicted output is to the true sample label, the smaller the loss function J (θ) is. The objective to be minimized is obtained by trying to make the probability distribution constructed according to the target real label and the probability distribution predicted by the discriminant function as similar as possible, which is equation (3).
By substituting formula (2) for formula (3), formula (3) is rewritten as:
Figure GDA0002198525200000083
the formula (4) is a cross entropy loss function J (θ) of the target to be minimized, i.e., the sample true label and the prediction output, and the gradient descent method can be used to minimize the formula (4), i.e., the gradient descent method is used to obtain a parameter θ corresponding to the minimized cross entropy loss function.
When the parameter θ in the equation (4) is solved by the gradient descent method, the partial derivative function of the cross entropy loss function equation (4) must be obtained, and the partial derivative function of the equation (4) is shown in the equation (5):
Figure GDA0002198525200000084
in conjunction with formula (2), formula (5) can be rewritten as:
Figure GDA0002198525200000091
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure GDA0002198525200000092
