Indoor/Outdoor Navigation Services Provision Through a Mixed Video/Radio Localization System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, thanks to the increasing availability of enabling technologies for multimedia and interactive content broadcasting, providers are trying to provide more and more comfortable and user-transparent communication services to end-users. Some of the main problems, inherent in this kind of system-design, are user localization and user identification. In the present work, problems have been faced in a joint way, basing on heterogeneous technologies that have different but complementary embedded characteristics: video signals and radio signals in order to provide virtual guidance services to end-users.

OA-Loc: Supporting virtual users in Outdoor assisted Indoor Localization
The rapid development of mobile devices and mobile Internet increases demands for location-based services. In outdoor environments, the mobile devices can obtain precise positioning through GPS localization. While in indoor environments, it is difficult to receive GPS signal. Researchers have proposed many methods to produce relative position rather than physical position. In this paper, we pro...
