With the fast development of location-based services, an ubiquitous indoor positioning approach with high accuracy and low calibration has become increasingly important. In this work, we target on a crowdsourcing approach with zero calibration effort based on visible light, magnetic field and WiFi to achieve sub-meter accuracy. We propose a CrowdFusion Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) comprised of coarse-grained and fine-grained trace merging respectively based on the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) SLAM and GraphSLAM. ICP SLAM is proposed to correct the relative locations and directions of crowdsourcing traces and GraphSLAM is further adopted for fine-grained pose optimization. In CrowdFusion SLAM, visible light is used to accurately detect loop closures and magnetic field to extend the coverage. According to the merged traces, we construct a radio map with visible light and WiFi fingerprints. An enhanced particle filter fusing inertial sensors, visible light, WiFi and floor plan is designed, in which visible light fingerprinting is used to improve the accuracy and increase the resampling/rebooting efficiency. We evaluate CrowdFusion based on comprehensive experiments. The evaluation results show a mean accuracy of 0.67m for the merged traces and 0.77m for positioning, merely replying on crowdsourcing traces without professional calibration.
