Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate an indoor visible light positioning system based on optical camera communications, in which the transmitted coordinate data are spatially separated and demodulated by a camera. The receiver's position is calculated based on the coordinates of light-emitting diodes in the real word and in the image. The experimental results show that the proposed system with under-sampled phase shift keying modulation offers an error free data transmission and mean positioning errors of 5.0 and 6.6 cm for $h$ of 120 and 180 cm, respectively.
