In this paper, a positioning system is designed based on the visible light communication (VLC) technology for the tracking of mobile target in the indoor environment. The practical received signal strength (RSS) can be measured for subsequent positioning algorithm by using the designed system. Based on the practical measurements, an empirical equation is proposed to estimate the target's distances relative to the referenced LEDs. Then, taking advantage of the relative distances, the location estimation can be obtained by the trilateration method. Furthermore, Kalman Filter is used for improving the positioning result computed by trilateration method. Finally, experimental results show that the average location errors by adopting the derived empirical formula and trilateration can reach to 3.4cm, and the accuracy of positioning can be promoted to 2.6cm by using Kalman Filter in a real wireless environment.
