The code implementation of the paper "ProxyFAUG: Proximity-based Fingerprint Augmentation".

Open access Author’s accepted manuscript version: https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.02706v2

Published paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9662590

More specifically:

ProxyFAUG.py : This python script contains all necessary methods implementing the ProxyFAUG augmentation scheme.

Augmentation_test.ipynb : This notebook includes all tests of the paper.

haversine_script.py : Assisting script for geographic distance calculations, based on the Haversine project (https://pypi.org/project/haversine/).

environment.yml : The .yml file from which the environment used for the tests of this study can be recreated. It includes all requirements, in terms of packages used and their exact versions.

As mentioned in the Augmentation_test.ipynb notebook, and in the paper, this work uses the train/validation/test sets of the work "A Reproducible Analysis of RSSI Fingerprinting for Outdoors Localization Using Sigfox: Preprocessing and Hyperparameter Tuning". 

Using the same train/validation/test split in different works strengthens the consistency of the comparison of results.
