用可微光线追踪实现高精度无线室内定位,直接从信道数据反推环境参数。
RayLoc: Wireless Indoor Localization via Fully Differentiable Ray-tracing
- 将定位问题转化为无线光线追踪的逆问题,通过可微模拟器反推环境参数。
- 在多个场景中定位误差低于15厘米,显著优于传统方法。
- 适合需要高精度定位的智能空间、AR/VR等场景使用。
无线室内定位在过去二十年中一直是研究重点,为众多传感应用奠定基础。然而,传统方法依赖信道状态信息进行有限参数的盲建模与估计,忽略了大量场景细节,导致定位精度不足。为此,本文提出一种新方法:将无线室内定位重新建模为无线光线追踪的逆问题,通过反演生成实测信道状态信息(CSI)的场景参数来实现定位。核心在于一个完全可微的光线追踪模拟器,支持对感知场景参数进行反向传播,从而实现精确定位。为构建可靠定位环境,RayLoc通过优化粗粒度背景模型建立高保真感知场景。此外,通过引入高斯核卷积信号生成过程,有效克服了梯度稀疏和局部最优问题。大量实验表明,RayLoc优于传统定位基线,并能泛化至不同感知环境。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Wireless indoor localization has been a pivotal area of research over the last two decades, becoming a cornerstone for numerous sensing applications. However, conventional wireless localization methods rely on channel state information to perform blind modelling and estimation of a limited set of localization parameters. This oversimplification neglects many sensing scene details, resulting in suboptimal localization accuracy. To address this limitation, this paper presents a novel approach to wireless indoor localization by reformulating it as an inverse problem of wireless ray-tracing, inferring scene parameters that generates the measured CSI. At the core of our solution is a fully differentiable ray-tracing simulator that enables backpropagation to comprehensive parameters of the sensing scene, allowing for precise localization. To establish a robust localization context, RayLoc constructs a high-fidelity sensing scene by refining coarse-grained background model. Furthermore, RayLoc overcomes the challenges of sparse gradient and local minima by convolving the signal generation process with a Gaussian kernel. Extensive experiments showcase that RayLoc outperforms traditional localization baselines and is able to generalize to different sensing environments.
