Accurate indoor localization has long been an objective of the ubiquitous computing research community, and numerous indoor localization solutions based on 802.11, Bluetooth, ultrasound and infrared technologies have been proposed. The key disadvantage of these approaches is that they require additional hardware infrastructure and/or time consuming calibration. This project will investigate the use of inertial navigation using accelerometers on commercial smart phones to determine a user's position indoors.
