Description of the research topic:
Localization and tracking are important services in many application areas, e.g. in industrial or agricultural systems. The most widely used technology is GPS, the utilization of which is rather limited indoors. There are several candidate technologies proposed for indoor localization systems, including acoustic, image, or radio-based solutions.
Current solutions are available in a wide range of prices and accuracy. There exists expensive systems with high accuracy for applications with special needs (e.g. utilizing 3D laser scanners), but on the other hand there are inexpensive solutions for applications with modest accuracy requirements (e.g. utilizing signals of WiFi hotspots and the sensors of a mobile phone).
The purpose of the research is the analysis of indoor localization and tracking techniques, development of new methods, and the performance analysis of such methods.
Preliminary results can be found in the following publication:
