Dynamic Indoor Visible Light Positioning and Orientation Estimation Based on Spatiotemporal Feature Information Network

Visible Light Positioning (VLP) has emerged as a pivotal technology for industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and smart logistics, offering high accuracy, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and cost-effectiveness. However, fluctuations in signal gain caused by target motion significantly degrade the positioning accuracy of current VLP systems. Conventional approaches face intrinsic limitations: propagation-model-based techniques rely on static assumptions, fingerprint-based approaches are highly sensitive to dynamic parameter variations, and although CNN/LSTM-based models achieve high accuracy under static conditions, their inability to capture long-term temporal dependencies leads to unstable performance in dynamic scenarios. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel dynamic VLP algorithm that incorporates a Spatio-Temporal Feature Information Network (STFI-Net) for joint localization and orientation estimation of moving targets. The proposed method integrates a two-layer convolutional block for spatial feature extraction and employs modern Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs) with dilated convolutions to capture multi-scale temporal dependencies in dynamic environments. Experimental results demonstrate that the STFI-Net-based system enhances positioning accuracy by over 26% compared to state-of-the-art methods while maintaining robustness in the face of complex motion patterns and environmental variations. This work introduces a novel framework for deep learning-enabled dynamic VLP systems, providing more efficient, accurate, and scalable solutions for indoor positioning.
