ALO4: Angle localization and orientation system with four receivers

This paper presents a 2D indoor localization and orientation system based on a TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) technique. It uses an array of receivers (four low-cost ultrasonic resonant devices in a square distribution) to implement low-computational-effort DOA (Direction of Arrival) algorithms,...

Sumario:This paper presents a 2D indoor localization and orientation system based on a TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) technique. It uses an array of receivers (four low-cost ultrasonic resonant devices in a square distribution) to implement low-computational-effort DOA (Direction of Arrival) algorithms, based on assumed plane-wave reception. The system only demands two transmitters at well-known positions on the ceiling of the room for obtaining the node position and orientation when it is deployed on the floor of the room. This system has been tested using a Xilinx Spartan-3A FPGA that implements a 52 MHz MicroBlaze. The experimental results include a total of 1,440 points, obtaining a mean localization error of 5.17 cm and a mean orientation error of 3.34 degrees. For this system, the localization and orientation processes are executed in less than 50 us.
