Leica Geosystems赞助室内本地化竞赛

As part of the 15th International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN), Leica Geosystems partnered with Microsoft and Google to host an Indoor Localisation Competition 10-11 April.

准确的室内本地化有可能以类似方式改变人们在室内导航的方式，与GPS改变了人们在户外活动的方式。

本月初，当31支球队降落在奥地利维也纳时，他们着手证明这一潜力。这些团队配备了激光扫描仪，GNSS接收器，总站和其他测量工具，他们着手努力证明这一潜力bob apple。

“自2014年以来，我们一直举行室内本地化竞赛，以更有效的方式将在该领域的团队融合在一起，以进一步促进这项激动人心的技术。”

争夺认可，进步

竞争分为两个部分：

1. 2D Category

参与者必须报告15个预测量内部位置的X和Y坐标。由于使用了基于WiFi和IMU的应用程序，因此不需要硬件。团队有三个预定的WiFi访问点可以使用。

2. 3D Category

Participants were required to report X, Y and Z coordinates of 15 pre-measured internal locations. Custom hardware was used, including UWB and Ultrasound. Each team was allowed to use five anchor devices in the evaluation space

Each team was judged on its average localisation error across the 15 test points. The lower the error, the higher the team ranked.

Lymberopoulos说：“今年，我们的竞争激烈，球队展示了室内本地化的创新方法。”

通过Leica Pegasus提供最佳效果：背包

尽管不符合担任赞助商的最终奖项，但Leica Pegasus：背包确实参加了3D类别。Backpack由Leica Geosystems M3D惯性融合经理Kris Morin佩戴，报告了XYZ坐标，平均定位误差为.053，类别中最低。

“We arrived on site without any pre-mapping, determined our location and built a very accurate map of the site,” said Morin. “As the only one of its kind in the competition, the Pegasus:Backpack ranked No. 1 and continues to prove to be a highly-precise and well-designed solution.”
