Abstract

The research of indoor positioning is rapidly increasing in recent years, and most researchers have focused on RFID technology in indoor positioning; It is difficult to deal with the RFID positioning method, due to RFID is restricted by the disturbance of wireless signals. Therefore, this paper proposes an indoor location system combined with active RFID and Kinect. Based on the identification and positioning functions of RFID, and the effective object extraction ability of Kinect, our system can analyze the identification and position of persons accurately and effectively.
