摘要翻译：
随着物联网技术的发展，室内跟踪已经成为时下的热门应用，但现有的解决方案大多只能在视线场景下工作，或者需要定期重新校准。本文提出了一种基于无线信号的非视距室内跟踪系统WiBall。WiBall利用无线电信号的时间反转聚焦效应的平稳性和位置无关性来实现高精度的移动距离估计。结合基于惯性测量单元的方向估计和基于平面约束的位置校正，WiBall能够在不同的环境下以分米级的精度跟踪运动目标。由于WiBall只需一对设备就可以容纳大量用户，因此它成本低，易于扩展，是未来室内跟踪应用的一个有希望的候选。

英文摘要：
  With the development of the Internet of Things technology, indoor tracking has become a popular application nowadays, but most existing solutions can only work in line-of-sight scenarios, or require regular re-calibration. In this paper, we propose WiBall, an accurate and calibration-free indoor tracking system that can work well in non-line-of-sight based on radio signals. WiBall leverages a stationary and location-independent property of the time-reversal focusing effect of radio signals for highly accurate moving distance estimation. Together with the direction estimation based on inertial measurement unit and location correction using the constraints from the floorplan, WiBall is shown to be able to track a moving object with decimeter-level accuracy in different environments. Since WiBall can accommodate a large number of users with only a single pair of devices, it is low-cost and easily scalable, and can be a promising candidate for future indoor tracking applications.
