Abstract

In a method for the computer-aided classification of measurements for the featured-based positioning of a mobile object in a predetermined region, for which one or more starting regions are defined through which the mobile object can leave and enter the predetermined region, each measurement is specified by a time and features of several base stations. The measurements are classified based on the relative base stations positions and the base station features, wherein a respective first class measurement is categorized as a measurement in a mobile object position inside the predetermined region and a respective second class measurement is categorized as a potential measurement in a mobile object position outside of the predetermined region. Subsequently, for a respective second class measurement, the path of the mobile object is tracked to determine whether the respective measurement is located inside the predetermined region to be also assigned to the first class.
