DC3: Visible light-based sub-meter single-anchor localisation and (passive) communication
Task: Visible light-based sub-meter single-anchor localisation and (passive) communication (WP1)
Host institution: TU Delft
Country: The Netherlands
Supervisors: Prof. M. Zuniga [TU Delft]
Co-supervisors/mentors: Prof. Q. Wang [TU Delft], Dr. R. Bian [PureLiFi]
Objectives: To derive a framework for sub-meter light-weight localisation and people counting with a single bulb as the anchor; To design passive visible light communication and sensing systems where the objects reflect light with their bodies or retroreflectors; To evaluate the (passive) communication and sensing with visible light in the open-source platform designed in TU Delft (Obj2).
Expected Results: A model that achieves sub-meter lightweight localisation based on the Lambertian radiation pattern of an LED bulb; An algorithm that counts people accurately through the reflected light emitted by a single bulb; Implementation of algorithms in hardware.
