Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation

Resources

Research on indoor positioning and indoor navigation includes, in most cases, experimental work for which specific hardware and software tools are developed, including those required to collect data in real-world environments for experimentation and validation of new methods. Datasets and evaluation procedures are also of capital importance for rigorous and fair comparison of new methods with the state-of-the-art. The competitions promoted by IPIN also aim at contributing to a fair and independent benchmarking of new proposed methods and systems.

In this context, many researchers have been sharing datasets, tools and other resources that can be used to facilitate the evaluation of new indoor positioning and navigation solutions, or related systems, and that also contribute to the reproducibility of their work.

This section includes a set of links to some of these resources that have been shared by the research community for the benefit of all.

Visitors to this page are encouraged to contribute to this list; just send us an e-mail with your suggestions. Preferably, the shared resources should be available through stable platforms.
