Placement optimization of Positioning Nodes: Maximizing the distinction of Indoor Zones

The performance of an Indoor Positioning System is highly related to the placement of the transmitting nodes that are used as references for the positioning estimations. Within this graduation project, we propose a methodology that can be used to optimize such a deployment and thus, increase the performance of an Indoor Positioning System that a...

Translating BLE Received Signals across different Smartphones

This report constitutes the final product of my internship, where research was conducted on the differences of the Bluetooth Low Energy signal reception between 2 different phones (p1, p2) and eventually, the possibility of developing a translation function that could be used to predict the signal strength reception of p1, by considering the...

Chronocity: Technical Report Towards an Open Point Cloud Map supporting on-the-fly change detection

We are now gradually entering the era of big data - maybe a bit too much of a buzzword, but it is not lied. Technology is evolving fast, enabling faster and more efficient data acquisition, storage, retrieval and processing. Point cloud datasets are such a type which relies on large files and lots of processing power. The rather fast evolutions...
