Abstract

An indoor or outdoor positioning system is hard to position in cross-region and complex environment. In order to make up for the loss of blind zone in scenario change, we proposed a cooperative positioning system based on GPS/UWB/MARG, which can achieve the seamless positioning between buildings in the hybrid scene. In the hybrid scene, using a weighted fusion algorithm to achieve the cooperative positioning of GPS and UWB, and MARG is used to improve the positioning accuracy of GPS. With data optimization and performance analysis of a subsystem, we process GPS/MARG data and UWB data by weighted fusion method. The optimal positioning information in different positioning environments will be output after independent judgment. The results show that, compared with GPS/MARG positioning system, the average positioning accuracy of the cooperative positioning system is improved by 64% in the hybrid scene. In addition, it expands the application scenario of a single positioning system.
