Abstract: Indoor localization (IL) plays a critical role in various applications, including asset tracking, emergency response, and indoor navigation. Traditional methods relying on one-dimensional (1D) representations of received signal strength indicator (RSSI) data often suffer from limitations such as low accuracy, environmental sensitivity, and susceptibility to interference. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes Scalogram-Based Transfer Learning for Indoor Localization (STL-IL), a novel framework that significantly enhances localization performance. The proposed approach transforms 1D RSSI signals into two-dimensional (2D) representations using scalogram-based time-frequency analysis, coupled with advanced transfer learning (TL) techniques. By leveraging the scalogram method to generate image representations of the data and employing diverse wavelet types. Furthermore, pre-trained deep learning models, including GoogleNet and SqueezeNet, are utilized to achieve state-of-the-art performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the STL-IL system achieves remarkable accuracy levels of 95% and 96% for SqueezeNet and GoogleNet, respectively. The proposed framework not only improves localization accuracy but also enhances robustness in dynamic and challenging environments, making it a promising solution for real-world indoor localization applications.
