Abstract: In order to improve the robustness and efficiency of indoor visible light positioning, the algorithm part of the positioning system is optimized. The positioning problem is considered as a three-dimensional point-to-point fitting problem. By using singular value decomposition (SVD) technique, a closed-form expression is derived to determine the position and orientation of the receiver. In addition, the image sensor of the smart phone is used as a receiver. 35 grid points are tested for the plane deployment. Compared with the commonly used LM iterative positioning algorithm, the proposed algorithm has faster positioning speed, about 30 times faster. Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm has avoided the possibility of positioning failure caused by wrong initial guess, and it achieves centimeter-level high-precision positioning in the actual environment.
