Correcting for antennae spatial distortions in Radio Frequency (RF) localization may be provided. A plurality of actual locations associated with a plurality of Access Point (APs) may be received. Then a plurality of signal strengths associated with the plurality of APs may be received. Based on the plurality of signal strengths, a model may be created that models a plurality of inference errors respectively corresponding to the plurality of APs between a plurality of inferred locations respectively corresponding to the plurality of APs and the plurality of actual locations. The model may then be used in determining a location of a device.
