  • Patent number: 11280875
    Abstract: A visible light positioning receiver arrangement for obtaining spatial position information of the receiver arrangement from a plurality of luminaires (5), at least one of the luminaires including at least one associated modulated light source for transmitting a light signal providing positional information of one or more reference points associated with the luminaire, said receiver arrangement including: an imaging receiver for capturing an image of the luminaires and associated said reference point(s); and a non-imaging receiver (7) for estimating an angle of arrival (AOA) of light from each said modulated light source, and for decoding the reference point positional information therefrom; wherein said AOA information and reference point positional information from the non-imaging receiver is matched to the image captured by the imaging receiver to obtain said spatial position information.
