Fingerprint-Based Device-Free Localization Performance in Changing Environments

Device-free localization (DFL) systems locate a person in an environment by measuring the changes in received signals on links in a wireless network. A fingerprint-based DFL method collects a training database of measurement fingerprints and uses a machine learning classifier to determine a person's location from a new fingerprint. However, as the environment changes over time due to furniture or other objects being moved, the fingerprints...
