Claim:
1. A method, comprising: receiving a plurality of signal strength measurements at a computing device, wherein a particular signal strength measurement of the plurality of signal strength measurements comprises a wireless-signal-emitter identifier and a signal strength value and is associated with a measurement location; determining by the computing device a plurality of measurement bins, wherein a particular measurement bin of the plurality of measurement bins is associated with a bin location, wherein the particular measurement bin comprises a plurality of statistics for each of one or more wireless signal emitters, and wherein the plurality of statistics comprise a mean value and a standard deviation value; determining by the computing device a particular measurement bin of the plurality of measurement bins, the particular measurement bins is associated with the measurement location of the particular signal strength measurement; determining by the computing device a particular plurality of statistics of the particular measurement bin that are associated with a wireless signal emitter identified by the wireless-signal-emitter identifier of the particular signal strength measurement; updating by the computing device the particular plurality of statistics based on the signal strength value of the particular signal strength measurement; and providing by the computing device an estimated location output based on the plurality or measurement bins.
