Abstract

The wide availability of GPS-enabled devices has fueled the development of location-based applications. Among the most popular are navigation applications that guide users along their way. Due to the limited availability and precision of GPS in typical indoor environments, most navigation applications are limited to outdoor scenarios. To mitigate this, researchers and practitioners have been developing alternative systems to capture the position of a mobile device indoors. Using these systems, they clearly show that it is possible to provide precise location information at a reasonable cost. However, past applications in this domain have often focused exclusively on indoor scenarios.In this paper, we describe an approach to integrate the indoor and outdoor world to provide a seamless hybrid navigation experience. The approach builds upon our past work on indoor localization and integrates with our existing infrastructure for outdoor navigation that has been developed in the GAMBAS European research project. To evaluate the approach, we present data gathered from a real-world deployment as part of the SIMON European research project.

一种室内/室外混合导航方法

支持gps的设备的广泛可用性推动了基于位置的应用程序的发展。其中最受欢迎的是导航应用程序，它可以引导用户前进。由于GPS在典型的室内环境中的可用性和精度有限，大多数导航应用仅限于室外场景。为了减轻这种情况，研究人员和从业人员一直在开发替代系统来捕捉室内移动设备的位置。使用这些系统，他们清楚地表明，以合理的成本提供精确的位置信息是可能的。然而，过去该领域的应用通常只关注室内场景。在本文中，我们描述了一种整合室内和室外世界的方法，以提供无缝的混合导航体验。该方法建立在我们过去在室内定位方面的工作基础上，并与我们在GAMBAS欧洲研究项目中开发的现有户外导航基础设施相结合。为了评估该方法，我们提供了从实际部署中收集的数据，作为SIMON欧洲研究项目的一部分。
