Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to indoor localization, for example, where GPS or other localization signals are unavailable. More specifically, aspects relate to using a particle filter in conjunction with one or more orientation devices to identify a location of a client device with respect to a map of an indoor space. This location may then be used to identify the path of the client device through the indoor space.
Abstract translation: 本公开的方面通常涉及室内定位，例如，其中GPS或其他定位信号不可用的地方。 更具体地，方面涉及使用粒子滤波器结合一个或多个取向装置来识别客户端装置相对于室内空间的映射的位置。 然后，该位置可以用于通过室内空间来识别客户端设备的路径。

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to indoor localization, for example, where GPS or other localization signals are unavailable. More particularly, the estimated location, and in some examples the estimated heading, of a client device may be displayed on a display of the client device. As the device is moved through the indoor space, its location and/or orientation may be estimated based on measurements from one or more orientation devices. Typically, as the client device moves through an indoor space, the location estimation may become less and less accurate. This may be addressed by allowing the user to correct the current location and/or heading. The correction may be logged by the client device and transmitted to a server for further processing.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to indoor localization, for example, where GPS or other localization signals are unavailable. More specifically, aspects relate to using a particle filter in conjunction with a gyroscope and/or accelerometer to identify a current location of a client device with respect to a map. In one example, the map may be based upon a map including a series of walls representing locations where a user may not walk within a building. In another example, the map may be based upon a series of rails representing locations where a user may walk within a building.

Abstract: Decision trees may be built and executed to estimate an indoor location of a mobile device. In particular, a first attribute (e.g., received signal strength indication (RSSI) of one or more access points) is selected, and variations of that attribute throughout an indoor area are identified. These identified variations are mapped to the locations to generate a model. One or more decision trees are built based on the model, and an output of the decision trees estimates a location of a mobile device within the building. According to one aspect, a plurality of such decision trees may be built, and the outputs provided by the plurality of trees may be averaged to provide a more reliable result. Each of the plurality of trees may vary the attribute being analyzed, data values, or an order in which data is analyzed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to using position information to grant access. More specifically, wireless network access point data may be used to identify the location of a mobile device in an indoor space. If the identified location is associated with permission information, this information may be used by a permission device to grant or deny the user of the client device some right. For example, the permission information may be used to unlock a door, lock or unlock a feature on the mobile device, delay some action, etc.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to quality control of survey data used to generate and or supplement map information. A device may be walked through an indoor space in order to collect survey data (accelerometer, gyroscope, wireless network identifiers, etc.). The survey data is then transmitted to a server for further processing to identify the path (or the various locations) of the device in the indoor space. The path may be determined by referring to a map of the indoor location and a localization algorithm, for example, a particle filter or least squares optimizer. The path may be compared to other survey data and paths from the same indoor space as well as the map in order to provide an estimate of the quality of the localization produced for the survey data. Low quality survey data may be flagged for further review or used to make changes to the map.
Abstract translation: 本公开的方面涉及用于生成和/或补充地图信息的勘测数据的质量控制。 为了收集测量数据（加速度计，陀螺仪，无线网络标识符等），设备可以通过室内空间进行。 然后将调查数据发送到服务器进行进一步处理以识别室内空间中设备的路径（或各种位置）。 可以通过参考室内位置的映射和定位算法（例如，粒子滤波器或最小二乘法优化器）来确定路径。 该路径可以与来自相同室内空间以及地图的其他测量数据和路径进行比较，以便提供对测量数据产生的定位质量的估计。 低质量的调查数据可能被标记为进一步审查或用于对地图进行更改。

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to collecting images of maps at plurality of client devices, orienting the images with respect to the Earth, and providing the oriented maps to users. The map images may be collected by users who orient the maps by arranging the position of the image over a picture of the Earth. In another example, users may orient the maps by using “pushpins” to indicate the location of two or more points in the map image to two or more locations on the image of the Earth. The images may be processed in order to generate high quality images which may then be downloaded and used by other users.
Abstract translation: 本公开的方面涉及在多个客户端设备处收集地图的图像，使图像相对于地球定向，并向用户提供定向的地图。 地图图像可以通过将图像的位置布置在地球的图片上来定向地图的用户收集。 在另一示例中，用户可以通过使用图钉来定位地图，以将地图图像中的两个或更多个点的位置指示到地球图像上的两个或更多个位置。 可以处理图像以产生高质量的图像，然后可以由其他用户下载并使用它们。
