Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last ten years have seen enormous technical progress in the field of indoor positioning and indoor navigation. The potential applications of indoor localization are all-encompassing, from home to wide public areas, from IoT and personal devices to surveillance and crowd behavior applications, and from casual use to mission-critical systems.
This Special Issue encourages authors, from academia and industry, to submit new research results about innovations for indoor positioning and navigation, especially the application of smart sensors. The Special Issue topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Location-based services and applications;
- Benchmarking, assessment, evaluation and standards;
- User requirements;
- UI, indoor maps, and 3D building models;
- Human motion monitoring and modeling;
- Robotics and UAV;
- Indoor navigation and tracking methods;
- Self-contained sensors;
- Wearable and multisensor systems.
