DIFFER seminar: Using the magnetic field for indoor localisation (dr. Manon Kok)

Abstract

Indoor localisation is an active research area since GPS does not work well indoors as the signals are blocked by the building. In this talk I will present ongoing research on using the fact that the indoor magnetic field is strongly position-dependent as a source of position information for indoor localisation. We will focus methods for building maps of the magnetic field, for simultaneous localisation and mapping, and on open challenges.
