Espinilla-Estévez, "Indoor Area Location System Using UWB Technology and Axis-Linear Bounding Boxes," 2024 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), Yokohama, Japan, 2024, pp. 1-8, doi: 10.1109/CEC60901.2024.10612106.10.1109/CEC60901.2024.10612106.https://hdl.handle.net/10953/2747Due to the need of determining the localization of elderly people in indoor spaces to detect their habits and potential anomalies in their behaviour, there is a need to manage the lack of real intelligent systems capable of calculating the area localization of a person within an enclosed space. This paper proposes an architecture that uses the commercial DWM1001 system from Decawave and a Raspberry Pi, employing Ultra Wideband technology and a proposed method based on axisaligned bounding boxes to obtain the area localization where the person is. An experimentation with this system was deployed in a six-room apartment to show its effectiveness, achieving an accuracy rate exceeding 85%. Furthermore, the paper also discusses the extension of the proposed method with evolutionary algorithms. Finally, our proposal is complemented by a mobile application designed to collect and manage information from the localization sessions carried out by a person testing the system in the apartment.Ultra WidebandIndoor area localization systemActive agingAxis-Aligned Bounding BoxDecawave RTLS devicesIndoor Area Location System Using UWB Technology and Axis-Linear Bounding Boxesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
