Indoor vehicle localization is an underlying technology for realizing Autonomous Valet Parking (AVP), which demands high accuracy and reliability. However, existing localization technologies, such as GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, suffer from either low availability or high cost, which are not practical in the real world. In order to put AVP into practice, We desperately need an efficient and reliable indoor vehicle localization technology. In this paper, we propose a Deep learning and FM fingerprint map based indoor vehicle Localization method, namely DeFLoc, which leverages FM signals to achieve accurate and practical indoor localization. In order to reduce the workload of the FM fingerprints collecting process, DeFLoc uses partially uniform sampling to decrease sample data volume and reconstructs the FM fingerprint map from collected incomplete fingerprints precisely using a dedicated deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). To alleviate the influence of signal distortions in some FM frequencies, we further design smooth layers in the neural network for improving the accuracy of map reconstruction. Moreover, we devise a continuous vehicle localization algorithm by considering the preferences of vehicle movements to assist us to calibrate localization. We implemented a prototype of DeFLoc and conducted extensive experiments both in simulation and practice. Evaluation results show that our proposed reconstruction model improves accuracy by 40% over conventional matrix completion methods even under the 60% data missing rate. With the precisely reconstructed fingerprint map, DeFLoc achieves over 90% localization accuracy, which indicates DeFLoc can realize accurate and practical indoor vehicle localization.
