Domain Reconstruction for UWB Car Key Localization Using Generative Adversarial Networks

We consider the car key localization task using ultra-wideband (UWB) signal measurements. Given labeled data for a certain car, we train a deep classifier to make the prediction about the new points. However, due to the differences in car models and possible environmental effects that might alter the signal propagation, data collection requires considerable effort for each car. In particular, we consider a situation where the data for the new car is collected only in one environment, so we have to utilize the measurements in other environments from a different car. We propose a framework based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate missing parts of the data and train the classifier on it, mitigating the necessity to collect the real data. We show that the model trained on the synthetic data performs better than the baseline trained on the collected measurements only. Furthermore, our model closes the gap to the level of performance achieved when we would have the information about the new car in multiple environments by 35 %.
