Experiment and Results
Two test areas were used for this experiment. The first one was an outdoor space with 9 beacons placed 5 meters apart forming a square. The second one was a rectangular indoor office space with 34 beacons spaced roughly 5 meters apart. Testing involved walking randomly to 100 locations in each test area. Results for for the outdoor test area produced an error of 0.64 m, while the more complex indoor environment produced and error of 1.58 m. The difference is most likely due to a lack of beacons outside the 10 meter radius, which produce false positives, in the outdoor setting with only 9 beacons. The indoor tests were performed with and without the Euclidian Distance Algorithm, showing that the correction algorithm greatly improved accuracy.
