In particular, the paper reviews different computer vision-based indoor navigation and positioning systems along with indoor scene recognition methods that can aid the indoor navigation. This article provides a comprehensive summary of evolution in indoor navigation and indoor positioning technologies. Radio frequency (RF) signals, computer vision, and sensor-based solutions are more suitable for tracking the users in indoor environments. In indoor environments, lack of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals and line of sight with orbiting satellites makes navigation more challenging compared to outdoor environments. Current technological advancements enable users to encapsulate these systems in handheld devices, which effectively increases the popularity of navigation systems and the number of users. Navigation systems help users access unfamiliar environments. All of these techniques present a number of issues, including low precision, high computational complexity, and unreliability due to wireless channel impairments such as multipath effects caused by non line of sight (NLOS) propagation in indoor environments, while most positioning devices lack sufficient computing power.

Yet in the literature, in addition to the range-free techniques such as Centroid method and distance vector hop (DV-Hop) technique, typical ranging techniques based on channel state information (CSI), angle of arrival (AoA), time of arrival (ToA), time difference of arrival (TDoA), and radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) using various wireless technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID), ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB), WiFi, and Bluetooth have been proposed for indoor positioning. All these transformational applications drive the need for accurate localization systems which require lots of resources due to the massive deployment of IoT devices. In order to re-enter normal operational model, simply remove and replace power to the device.
#Radbeacon dot configuration update#
Reboot the beacon into Direct Firmware Update mode.Ĭontact Radius Networks support for information on the procedure for firmware update or replacement. Press the Action Menu button and select DFU. In order to re-enter configurable mode for a RadBeacon X2, remove the front cover and switch the beacon power switch to OFF and back to ON.Ī beacon set in configurable mode will be configurable for up to 30 minutes or until you lock the device again. In order to re-enter configurable mode for a RadBeacon Tag, remove the front cover and press the configuration push button switch near the coin cell battery.

In order to re-enter configurable mode for a RadBeacon USB, remove and restore power to the device. The Lock feature is a security precaution to limit the possibility of third party manipulation of your beacons once they have been installed and configured. Submit a valid PIN to prevent connections from remote Bluetooth 4.0 devices to the beacon configuration service. Press the Action Menu button and select Lock. Submit a valid PIN to reset the settings for your beacon to factory defaults. Reset the device to the original factory settings. Press the Action Menu button and select Reset. Submit a new and existing PIN to update the PIN for your beacon. Press the Action Menu button and select Update PIN. Validate the accuracy of your beacon settings by quickly verifying the ranging behavior of your device in proximity to your configured beacon.

Press the Action Menu button and select Range. Update the measured power value with the results of your calibration activity and update your settings. Press the Action Menu button and select Calibrate.Ĭalibrate the measured power value of the beacon settings to ensure optimal proximity events and ranging. Submit a valid PIN to update the settings for this beacon. Press the Action Menu button and select Apply. Select any RadBeacon in the table to view it's detailed settings. Each beacon discovered is displayed with the following summary details Scan for nearby configurable RadBeacons by swiping down on the RadBeacons table. Once discovered, you can display each beacon's operating settings and make modifications to those settings. With the RadBeacon app you can scan for nearby configurable Radius Networks beacons.

The RadBeacon app from Radius Networks requires an iOS iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 7.1 or higher and equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 capabilities. The RadBeacon™ app is the configuration utility for RadBeacon proximity beacons from Radius Networks that support Apple's iBeacon™ proximity services as well as other emerging proximity services.
