“…In this case, the traditional radio frequency based localization algorithms can be employed into achieving accurate positioning results, such as received signal strength (RSS), 10 – 13 received signal strength ratio (RSSR), 14 , 15 time-of-arrival, 16 time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA), 17 , 18 angle-of-arrival, 19 , 20 and fingerprint scheme 21 . Furthermore, to mitigate the adverse effects of inaccurate model and light intensity variation on the system performance, classical intelligent algorithms are increasingly utilized by researchers to solve the localization problem of the nVLP model, such as machine learning (ML), 22 , 23 artificial neural network (ANN), 24 – 27 and some heuristic algorithms 28 – 35 Specifically, in Ref.…”
