1. A system for position estimation of an object relative to a region, comprising:
- a map generator configured to create a mean map for said region, wherein said mean map includes grid points that are based on multiple radio transceivers associated with said region; and
a measurement matching engine associated with said map generator and configured to match received measurements regarding said object to a plurality of nearest neighboring of said grid points in said mean map.

Abstract
A system for, and method of, position estimation of, or tracking, an object. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a map generator configured to create, without requiring a propagation model, a mean map for the region and (2) a measurement matching engine associated with the map generator and configured to match received measurements regarding the object to a number of nearest neighboring grid points in the mean map.

16. A system for position estimation of an object relative to a region, comprising:
-
a map generator configured to create, without requiring a propagation model, a mean map for said region; a measurement matching engine associated with said map generator and configured to match received measurements regarding said object to a plurality of nearest neighboring grid points in said mean map; and a path smoother associated with said measurement matching engine and configured to make smooth static position estimates regarding said object without requiring a motion model and further configured to locally linearly smooth a moving window of said static position estimates.
