The technique is subject to big positioning errors due to challenging environmental conditions. In this paper, initially, a fingerprint localisation technique is deployed by using classical k-nearest neighborhood method to determine the unknown object locations. Additionally, several artificial neural networks, are employed, using fingerprint data, such as single-layer feed forward neural network multi-layer feed forward neural network, multi-layer back propagation neural network general regression neural network, and deep neural network to determine the same unknown object locations. Fingerprint database is built by received signal strength indicator measurement signatures across the grid locations. The construction and the adapted approach of different neural networks using the fingerprint data are described. The results of them are compared with the classical k-nearest neighborhood method and it was found that deep neural network was the best neural network technique providing the maximum positioning accuracies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United Statesreceived signal strength indicatork-nearest neighborhoodartificial neural networkssingle-layer feed forward neural networkmulti-layer feed forward neural networkmulti-layer back propagation neural networkdeep neural networkThermodynamicsArticle23S99S11110.2298/TSCI180912334K2-s2.0-85065158650Q3WOS:000465190400011Q3
