Achieving Indoor Positioning With SenionLab
So, following the successful readings with my new HTC Sensation with its gyro (and disregarding attempts where I was filming the recording process) I uploaded the new files to SenionLab.
David, the CTO promptly processed them for me, and all I had to do was tap the “Download Files” button in the app to obtain the fingerprint file used for positioning. This done, I headed off down to the mall to see how it would get on.
The results were impressive. Nice, smooth, accurate positioning. I’ve posted a video below to demonstrate with a sample of the mall, but I walked round the whole place and it was all pretty much as you see here.
Good job guys!
Taking Readings With SenionLab’s Recording Tool Incorporating SenionLab with Micello Maps
So, which performed better? The SenionLab’s or Qubulus’s?
Great blog, btw! I have no idea how I could have figured out so much about Indoor positioning without the last few posts on your blog. I am writing in all the way from India, btw. Trying to build a solution around this for malls.
Hi Sawrb
They both did well really, as you can see from the videos. I’d say SenionLab is the more granular and moved more smoothly along the map. That said though, I used an old Samsung phone to take the recordings and test with Qubulus and according to those guys, Samsung’s wifi drivers aren’t the greatest. The readings for this test were taken with a fairly new HTC Sensation so it would be interesting to try the Qubulus system again with this device.
My advice would be to try them both for yourself and see which works best for you. The guys at both are friendly and will help you out, and they know about this blog too
Let me know how you get on!
hi ,really interesting ,but is this one works on iphone, it says it works. have you tested
It’s not as accurate as Android as the iOS wifi APIs are private, but they use a form of dead reckoning to obtain a location. I haven’t tested it so I’m not sure how accurate it is I’m afraid
