Abstract
To date, the majority of positioning systems have been designed to operate within environments that have long-term stable macro-structure with potential small-scale dynamics. These assumptions allow the existing positioning systems to produce and utilize stable maps. However, in highly dynamic industrial settings these assumptions are no longer valid and the task of tracking people is more challenging due to the rapid large-scale changes in structure. In this paper we propose a novel positioning system for tracking people in highly dynamic industrial environments, such as construction sites. The proposed system leverages the existing CCTV camera infrastructure found in many industrial settings along with radio and inertial sensors within each worker's mobile phone to accurately track multiple people. This multi-target multi-sensor tracking framework also allows our system to use…
