A three-dimensional indoor positioning technique based on visible light communication using chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm

In this paper, an indoor visible light localization system based on improved chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) is proposed to achieve indoor 3-D positioning. In the field of visible light positioning, most of the localization is two-dimensional positioning under the condition of height determined. In addition, some three-dimensional visible light localization systems use a hybrid algorithm that greatly improves the computational complexity of the system, or requires the user to first provide a better initial point for three-dimensional positioning, which can't be applied to life well. In order to solve the problems in the field of VLP, this paper proposes an indoor visible light positioning system based on improved chaotic particle swarm optimization. In this paper, the chaos algorithm is firstly used in the visible light positioning area. Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm combines chaos algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm, and obtains a high positioning accuracy in the simulation space of 3 m × 3 m × 4m. Chaos optimization algorithm can make use of visible light indoor positioning system to achieve the positioning accuracy greatly, and join the particle swarm algorithm can offset the slow convergence of the chaos algorithm. The simulation results show that the visible light positioning system based on CPSO algorithm can achieve the average error of less than 1.4 cm, and the positioning accuracy of 96.6% sampling points can reach within 3.55 cm.
