The IPIN 2019 Indoor Localisation Competition-Description and Results
IPIN 2019 Competition, sixth in a series of IPIN competitions, was held at the CNR Research Area of Pisa (IT), integrated into the program of the IPIN 2019 Conference. It included two on-site real-time Tracks and three off-site Tracks. The four Tracks presented in this paper were set in the same environment, made of two buildings close together for a total usable area of 1000 m2 outdoors and and 6000 m2 indoors over three floors, with a total path length exceeding 500 m. IPIN competitions, based on the EvAAL framework, have aimed at comparing the accuracy performance of personal positioning systems in fair and realistic conditions: past editions of the competition were carried in big conference settings, university campuses and a shopping mall. Positioning accuracy is computed while the person carrying the system under test walks at normal walking speed, uses lifts and goes up and down stairs or briefly stops at given points. Results presented here are a showcase of state-of-the-art systems tested side by side in real-world settings as part of the on-site real-time competition Tracks. Results for off-site Tracks allow a detailed and reproducible comparison of the most recent positioning and tracking algorithms in the same environment as the on-site Tracks. ; Fundación para la Ciencia y Tecnología; 10.13039/100007225-Ministry of Science and Technology; Institute for Information and communications Technology Promotion IITP grant funded by the Korea government MSIT; Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea NRF funded by the Ministry of Science; MSIT Ministry of Science and ICT Korea under the ITRC; Slovak Research and Development Agency; Strategic Priority Research Program; Korea government NFA; ICT R and D Program of MSIPIITP; 10.13039/501100004837-Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación; JSPS KAKENHI; ICT R and D Program of MSIPIITP. ; Peer reviewed
