In this paper a low cost solution for implementing an indoor localization system is proposed. The Android app is based on a background service able to log data retrieved from the 9-Degree of Freedom IMU embedded in a smartphone and to compute the current user position. In particular, an Android application is developed: it is able to track the position of a user in indoor environment using smartphones embedded inertial sensors. The estimated position is shown on a map in a graphic user interface. This system has been developed for rescuers and building maintenance workers and it is able to track user in a planar environment. The key idea is to obtain a cheap solution still able to guarantee the room level accuracy. Experimental tests show the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Abstract
In this paper a low cost solution for implementing an indoor localization system is proposed. The Android app is based on a background service able to log data retrieved from the 9-Degree of Freedom IMU embedded in a smartphone and to compute the current user position. In particular, an Android application is developed: it is able to track the position of a user in indoor environment using smartphones embedded inertial sensors. The estimated position is shown on a map in a graphic user interface. This system has been developed for rescuers and building maintenance workers and it is able to track user in a planar environment. The key idea is to obtain a cheap solution still able to guarantee the room level accuracy. Experimental tests show the effectiveness of the proposed solution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
