  • KL-divergence kernel regression for non-gaussian fingerprint based localization
    Patent number: 8463291
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to mobile localization, and more specifically, but not exclusively, to tracking mobile devices. Embodiments include methods that consider probability kernels with distance-like metrics between distributions. Also described are probabilistic kernels that can be used for a regression of location, which can achieve up to about inn accuracy in an office environment.
