K-Means-Based DNN Algorithm for a High Accuracy VLP System

In this paper, a positioning algorithm based on the combination of K-means clustering and deep neural networks (DNNs) is first presented for multiple light emitting diodes (LEDs) integrated with visible light positioning (VLP) systems. We extracted the maximum value from the collected optical power of LEDs, utilizing the ratio of each optical power to this maximum optical power as the input training data. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperformed the conventional DNN algorithm in terms of anti-jamming capability and positioning accuracy. In addition, the positioning accuracy of the proposed system reached a millimeter level, which is the highest experimental VLP accuracy, to the best of our knowledge.
