Summary: An accurate but energy-efficient estimation of a position is important as the number of mobile computing systems grow rapidly. A challenge is to develop a highly accurate but energy efficient estimation method. A particle filter is a key algorithm to estimate and track the position of an object which exhibits non-linear movement behavior. However, it requires high usage of computation resources and energy. In this paper, we propose a scheme which can dynamically adjust the number of particles according to the accuracy of the reference signal for positioning and reduce the energy consumption by 37% on Cortex A7.
