Graph Optimization Model Fusing BLE Ranging with Wi-Fi Fingerprint for Indoor Positioning.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To improve the user's positioning accuracy of a Wi-Fi fingerprint-based positioning algorithm, this study proposes a graph optimization model based on the framework of g2o that fuses a Wi-Fi fingerprint and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) ranging technologies. In our model, the improvement in positioning can be formulated as a nonlinear least-squares optimization problem that a graph can represent. The graph regards users as nodes and our self-designed error functions between users as edges. In the graph, the nodes obtain the initial coordinates through Wi-Fi fingerprint positioning, and all error functions aggregate to a total error function to be solved. To improve the solution effect of the total error function and weaken the influence of measurement error, an information matrix, an edge selection principle, and a Huber kernel function are introduced. The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is used to solve the total error function and the affine transformation estimation is used for the drifting solution. Through experiments, the influence of the threshold in the Huber kernel function is explored, the relationship between the number of nodes in the graph and the optimization effect is analyzed, and the impact of the distribution of nodes is researched. The experimental results show improvements in the positioning accuracy of four common Wi-Fi fingerprint-matching algorithms: KNN, WKNN, GK, and Stg.
