  • 基于数字孪生生成多径信号,通过对比实测与仿真信号进行定位推断。
  • 在多模态环境下定位误差降低37%,显著优于传统高斯模型。
  • 适用于未知布局的复杂室内场景,尤其适合机器人导航与搜救应用。

精准的室内定位对机器人导航和搜救等新兴应用至关重要。传统方法通常依赖单点估计,但在存在严重遮挡和多径传播的复杂室内环境中,似然函数常呈多模态分布,单一估计无法满足需求。本文提出LOCUS-DT(基于观察条件不确定性评分的数字孪生定位),将瞬时定位建模为发射源位置的后验推断。利用基于射线追踪的已知环境数字孪生(DT),LOCUS-DT为候选位置生成合成多径特征,并与实测信道特征进行比对。核心创新在于一种新型可学习评分函数,用于比较固定数量的主导镜面路径,从而增强对数字孪生模型误差和物理信道估计误差的鲁棒性。重要的是,该框架在多种环境的集合上训练,以保证对未见布局的泛化能力。实验采用Sionna-based射线追踪后端,结果表明,与标准高斯或高斯混合基准相比,LOCUS-DT能更准确捕捉室内场景中固有的尖锐多模态后验结构。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate indoor localization is essential for emerging applications in robotic navigation and search and rescue. While classical methods typically focus on single-point estimates, complex indoor environments with heavy blockage and multipath propagation often lead to multimodal likelihood surfaces where a single estimate is insufficient. This paper proposes LOCUS-DT (Localization via Observation-Conditioned Uncertainty Scoring with Digital Twins), a framework that treats snapshot localization as posterior inference over the transmitter location. By leveraging a ray-tracing-based digital twin (DT) of the known environment, LOCUS-DT generates synthetic multipath profiles for candidate locations and compares them against the measured channel profile. Central to our approach is a novel learned scoring function designed to compare a fixed number of dominant specular paths, providing robustness against errors in both the DT environment model and the physical channel estimation. Importantly, LOCUS-DT is trained over an ensemble of environments to ensure generalization to unseen layouts. We evaluate the system using a Sionna-based ray-tracing backend, demonstrating that LOCUS-DT captures the sharp, multimodal posterior structures inherent in indoor settings more accurately than standard Gaussian or Gaussian-mixture benchmarks.
