Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce a simple and accurate indoor navigation system that can track and re-direct flying objects modeled from digital pixel designs. Using Pseudolite idea, this system works accurately indoors in spite of a high noise and multipath, to track and control helicopters with mounted LED lights mimicking the digital designs. The system was built using Simulink and Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) hardware. It can also be used for many indoor applications, for example, tracking persons or things in a hospital with high accuracy.
