To address the issues of the high computational load for fingerprint matching and the dependence of positioning accuracy on the fixed K valuein the weighted K-nearest neighbor (WKNN) algorithm for bluetooth pedestrian localization, a modified WKNN (MWKNN) algorithm is proposed for the initial localization of the target. To further enhance positioning accuracy, a particle filtering algorithm is introduced, using the initial localization resultsfrom the MWKNN algorithm as measurement values to update the particles,and ultimately achieves precise target localization. Experimental results indicate that the proposed MWKNN-PF algorithm improves positioning accuracy by 41.8% and reduces computation time by 59.6%. This algorithm provides more accurate and real-time indoor pedestrian localization for related applications.
