Resumé:
Localization is the technique by which you discover and track the location of an object in some environment. While GPS appears as the ideal candidate for outdoor position, it does not function well in indoor or sheltered areas, and is a high-power solution. Indoor localization solution exist, but all rely on a powered infrastructure: “anchor” nodes that plugged into the mains power and often require an Ethernet or WiFi local area network to communicate.
The context of this PhD work is to investigate localization solutions in constrained environment. By “constrained”, we refer to localization solutions that need to operate in areas with no mains power, no networking infrastructure and which possibly sparsely deployed. No solution exist today which satisfy these requirements. The proposed research is hence particularly timely and has tremendous potential for addressing unexplored use cases.
