使用windows wi-fi api作為LBS(location-based service)定位－questioner

前言

透過GPS裝置定位，雖然方便，但是往往因為在室內收不到GPS訊號，會造成定位失效。而透過Wi-Fi AP定位是室內定位的一種不錯的另外方式（當然啦，2D bar code其實也可以做到），不過其實原理都是一樣的，就是有人先幫你量好位置，你走到附近的位置，根據前人的資訊，你就可以知道你現在的位置可能在哪。

GPS的定位方式

1.拿到建築物的平面圖，並將此圖可以數位化。

2.先擷取幾個特徵點n(1),n(2),.....n(m)，在行走間測量其wi-fi AP的訊號特徵。

n(1)=地圖位置(x1,y1)=>wi-fi-signal1(ap1_mac訊號強度,ap2_mac訊號強度,.....)
n(2)=地圖位置(x2,y2)=>wi-fi-signal1(ap1_mac訊號強度,ap2_mac訊號強度,.....)
n(3)=地圖位置(x3,y3)=>wi-fi-signal1(ap1_mac訊號強度,ap2_mac訊號強度,.....)
...............................................

3.擷取完特徵點後，在沒有擷取的位置需要有估計方法，可以用各種不同的方式（內差法、外差法、類神經網路、基因演算法...等）

如何在windows平台上，抓到Wi-Fi AP訊號強度

在講完學理的問題之後，現在問題來了，該怎樣在windows平台上抓取Wi-Fi AP的訊號呢？
其實網路上已經存在許多Wi-Fi API，這邊就用SourceForge上的windows wi-fi API說明
首先透過TortoiseSVN checkout source code


      2. 這邊以windows sp2為例說明

      3. sp2目錄裡面檔案的說明（我是用VS2003開啟編輯的）


4. 本來的專案只有提供 API，我另外加上一個 GUI的選項

5. 編譯過後執行程式的結果(有網路卡可以抓到所有AP訊號強度，剩下的就是看你要用怎樣的數學去定位了)

GUI的程式碼，請見以下，也些住解釋測試的部分
