Wireless fingerprint reconstruction for accurate location confirmation

Abstract:

Disclosed are various embodiments for estimating missing wireless attributes of a wireless fingerprint generated for a given location and confirming that the given location is a correct location. A collection of wireless fingerprint samples for the given location can be used to train an attribute prediction model that can estimate missing attributes in wireless fingerprints. For example, a wireless fingerprint may be incomplete as the fingerprint may fail to include attribute data for some AP devices associated with the given location. The attribute prediction model can be used to reconstruct wireless fingerprints to include the missing attributes. The reconstructed wireless fingerprints can then be used to train a location confirmation model which can be used for accurate location confirmation.
