Therefore, a Wi-Fi and PDR (pedestrian dead reckoning) real-time fusion scheme is proposed in this paper to perform fusing calculation by adaptively determining the dynamic noise of a filtering system according to pedestrian movement (straight or turning), which can effectively restrain the jumping or accumulation phenomena of wireless positioning and the PDR error accumulation problem. Wi-Fi fingerprint matching typically requires a quite high computational burden: To reduce the computational complexity of this step, the affinity propagation clustering algorithm is adopted to cluster the fingerprint database and integrate the information of the position domain and signal domain of respective points. An experiment performed in a fourth-floor corridor at the School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, shows that the traverse points of the clustered positioning system decrease by 65%\u201380%, which greatly improves the time efficiency. In terms of positioning accuracy, the average error is 4.09 m through the Wi-Fi positioning method. However, the positioning error can be reduced to 2.32 m after integration of the PDR algorithm with the adaptive noise extended Kalman filter (EKF).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi5020008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,1]],"date-time":"2016-02-01T10:03:26Z","timestamp":1454321006000},"page":"8","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Integrated WiFi\/PDR\/Smartphone Using an Adaptive System Noise Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm for Indoor Localization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5455-8999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Resources and Environment Information Engineering, Xuzhou 221116, China"},{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Resources and Environment Information Engineering, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunyan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Resources and Environment Information Engineering, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liwen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Resources and Environment Information Engineering, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhengkui","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2550","DOI":"10.1109\/TMTT.2009.2029721","article-title":"Integration of UWB and wireless pressure mapping in surgical navigation","volume":"57","author":"Mahfouz","year":"2009","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
