Demonstration Abstract: Platform for Benchmarking RF-Based Indoor Localization Solutions

Abstract

This demonstration presents a user-friendly Web-based platform that supports intuitive remote benchmarking of different indoor localization solutions. It reduces the barriers for experimental evaluation and fair comparison of their performance across a set of testing environments. The platform is aimed at addressing the limitations in the current praxis of publishing indoor localization research evaluated only in local, potentially biased environments. To this end, it provides a holistic support for the benchmarking process offering: (i) multiple pre-collected raw data-traces from different RF technologies, (ii) high-level interface to control remote wireless testbed facilities, and (iii) a set of tools for creating, storing, comparing and visualizing the performance results of multiple indoor localization solutions.
