Abstract:This paper studies indoor tracking from wall-mounted backscatter fiducials in corridor segments outside direct transmitter illumination. In the measured setup, the transmitter-to-fiducial links are NLOS, whereas the fiducial-to-receiver links along the corridor are largely LOS. The main challenge is that the effective fiducial response is deployment-dependent, so a fixed calibrated link budget is not reliable. We therefore use a grid-based penalized-likelihood tracker that profiles the receiver path, a fitted log-distance slope parameter, and fiducial-specific offsets directly from received powers. The resulting paths can then be reused as surrogate calibration coordinates for residual-map correction, while the same correction with measured calibration coordinates is reported only as a reference. On a short four-fiducial corridor segment, the profiled dual-band tracker gives a 0.52 m median error without measured calibration coordinates, and surrogate residual correction improves this to 0.46 m. With measured calibration coordinates, the same correction and a RADAR-style fingerprint reference both reach 0.31 m. The main remaining limitation is therefore the quality of the surrogate calibration paths rather than the structured observation model itself.
