Julian F. Randall, Oliver Amft, and Gerhard Tröster. Towards Luxtrace: Using solar cells to measure distance indoors. In LOCA 2005: Proceedings of the International Conference on Location and Context awareness., pp. 40–51, Springer, May 2005.
Navigation for and tracking of humans within a building usually implies signifcant infrastructure investment and devices are usually too high in weight and volume to be integrated into garments. We propose a system that relies on existing infrastructure (so requires little infrastructure investment) and is based on a sensor that is low cost, low weight, low volume and can be manufactured to have similar characteristics to everyday clothing (fexible, range of colours). This proposed solution is based on solar modules. This paper investigates their theoretical and practical characteristics in a simplifed scenario. Two models based on theory and on experimental results (empirical model) are developed and validated. First distance estimations indicate that an empirical model for a particular scenario achieves an accuracy of 18cm with a confdence of 83%.
