Organic Indoor Location Discovery Service

Abstract

The goal of this project is to develop an organic indoor location discovery service, such that a mobile user with a wifi-enabled device can discover her/his location to roughly room granularity.

Data

The dataset used in Implications of Device Diversity for Organic Localization (INFOCOM '11) can be downloaded from here (970kB). This dataset contains 802.11 RF-scans from six heterogeneous devices for 18 locations.


The dataset used in Online Pose Classification and Walking Speed Estimation using Handheld Devices is available here (47MB). This dataset includes three rounds of experiments from 16 participants, capturing acceleration data with a handheld device.
