Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing indoor location algorithm, such as low accuracy of positioning, high deployment and maintenance cost, and unstable robustness, this paper proposes a method of indoor location based on the integration of smartphone with WiFi and magnetic field using multisensor fusion. In the initial stages of positioning, rough location is achieved by WiFi-RSSI fingerprints which provides an initial location and geomagnetic matching area for indoor positioning based on particle filter magnetic field matching. This paper proposes the use of median filter algorithm to deal with the original magnetic field data and covariance interpolation algorithm to generate magnetic field map, and effectively reduce the interference which caused by geomagnetic fluctuations, thereby it will improves the positioning accuracy. Finally, through conducting comprehensive experiments and tests, the results show that the proposed technique can reliably achieve 0.836 meters precision in current experimental environment.

For existing indoor localization algorithm has low accuracy, high cost in deployment and maintenance, lack of robustness, and low sensor utilization, this paper proposes a particle filter algorithm based on multi-sensor fusion. The pedestrian's localization in indoor environment is described as dynamic system state estimation problem. The algorithm combines the smart mobile terminal with indoor localization, and filters the result of localization with the particle filter. In this paper, a dynamic interval particle filter algorithm based on pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) information and RSSI localization information have been used to improve the filtering precision and the stability. Moreover, the localization results will be uploaded to the server in time, and the location fingerprint database will be built incrementally, which can adapt the dynamic changes of the indoor environment. Experimental results show that the algorithm based on multi-sensor improves the localization accuracy and robustness compared with the location algorithm based on Wi-Fi.

The magnetic information measured on the smartphone platform has a large fluctuation and the research of indoor localization algorithm based on smartphone platform is less. Indoor localization algorithm on smartphone platform based on particle filter is studied. Robust local weighted regression is used to smooth the original magnetic data in the process of constructing magnetic map. Use moving average filtering model to filter the online magnetic observation data in positioning process. Compare processed online magnetic data with processed magnetic map collected by smartphone platform and the average matching error is 0.3941uT. Average positioning error is 0.229 meter when using processed online and map data.
