Title:
Indoor Positioning: Challenges and Opportunities
Abstract:
We spend for a longer time of the day in indoor environments such as homes, offices, classrooms, subway stations, shopping malls, and so on. Thus, indoor positioning is one of the fundamental technologies for supporting us in the real world at the right time, in the right location and in the right context. In this talk, I will introduce recent indoor positioning technologies and applications. Then, lessons learned through our projects are shown. Finally, I will conclude this talk by discussing challenges and opportunities of indoor positioning studies.
