From the perspective of ensuring life safety, combined with the advantages of high-speed time response and energy conservation of white light emitting diodes (LEDs), the visible light indoor positioning algorithm based on fire safety is proposed in the paper. First, the model is designed which needs three LED lights arranged in a straight line and positioned in the geographically north direction on the top of the model. Then, the proposed algorithm is discussed and analyzed when the camera is located at the center of the model and facing north, when the camera is located at the center of the model and the angle is rotated, and when the camera is located at any position of the model, respectively. It can accurately calculate the current position of the camera, its response speed is fast and the positioning accuracy is high. Furthermore, this paper also verifies the practicability and reliability of the algorithm by designing the visible light indoor positioning system based on fire safety rescue in natural environment and smoke environment. The experimental results show that the positioning error does not exceed 0.70 cm in smoke environment.

With the rapid development of smart cities, white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in indoor lighting due to their characteristics of energy-saving, long lifetimes, and low cost. At the same time, the high-frequency modulated LEDs allow visible light to be used for indoor communications, positioning, and security. Visible light applications have many advantages, such as avoiding electromagnetic interference, high communication speed, great privacy, and high-precise positioning. In this paper, we will survey the application prospects and research results of visible light from scenarios such as high-speed communication, privacy security, and navigation localization and focus on analyzing and discussing the challenges and development trends encountered in visible light positioning.

AbstractIn this work, we report our efforts to develop a novel inorganic halide perovskite-based bi-functional light-emitting and photo-detecting diode. The bi-functional diode is capable of emitting a uniform green light, with a peak wavelength of 520 nm, at a forward bias of >2 V, achieving a high luminance of >103 cd/m2 at 7 V. It becomes an efficient photodetector when the bi-functional diode is operated at a reverse bias, exhibiting sensitivity over a broadband wavelength range from ultraviolet to visible light. The bi-functional diode possesses very fast transient electroluminescence (EL) and photo-response characteristics, e.g. with a short EL rising time of ~6 μS and a photo-response time of ~150 μS. In addition, the bi-functional diode also is sensitive to 520 nm, the wavelength of its peak EL emission. The ability of the bi-functional diodes for application in high speed visible light communication was analyzed and demonstrated using two identical bi-functional diodes, one performed as the signal generator and the other acted as a signal receiver. The dual functions of light emission and light detection capability, enabled by bi-functional diodes, are very attractive for different applications in under water communication and visible light telecommunications.

Indoor Scenarios

Affected by the complexity of the indoor environment, accurate indoor positioning is challenging in many localization based services (LBS). Recently, it has been recognized that, visible light communication (VLC) is promising for indoor navigation and positioning, due to the low implementation cost with marginal modification to the existing infrastructure and the possibility to achieve high accurate positioning results. Provided that the positions of the light emitting diodes (LEDs) are known to the receiver, the angle of arrival (AOA) of the light signal is able to be estimated by a camera embedded in a smart phone, and thus the position of the smart phone can be derived based on the triangulation. In this paper, the performance of the positioning accuracy is analyzed based on indoor positioning with VLC, and the analytical upper bound of location error is derived. Extensive simulation results have verified the theoretical analysis on the VLC-based localization approach in different indoor scenarios. In order to obtain better location performance, the principles of choosing reference LED and localization LED are also given.
