The present invention provides a method and
system for positioning an object with
adaptive resolution. The method comprises: dividing a space to be detected into Hot Area and General Area; arranging, according to the positions of Hot Area and General Area, high-resolution positioning
signal (US) transceivers and low-resolution positioning
signal (RF) transceivers, wherein the detection scope of the low-resolution positioning
signal transceivers covers the space and the detection scope of the high-resolution positioning signal transceivers covers the Hot Area; and when the object moving in the space, fusing the detection results from the high-resolution positioning signal transceivers and the low-resolution positioning signal transceivers to determine the position of the object with
adaptive resolution. With the
system of the present invention, for different areas, the object can be positioned with different positioning resolutions (precisions or granularities). Also, since it is not necessary to use a great deal of high-precision positioning devices, the
system cost can be reduced considerably.
