IEEE JOURNAL OF

Indoor and Seamless Positioning
and Navigation (J-ISPIN)

The IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation (J-ISPIN) publishes original research in the fields of localization and tracking of people, robots and objects. It covers all aspects of localization systems, including sensing, communications, location-based services, mapping, protocols, human interfaces and standards. The scope includes methods and systems addressing indoor environments as well as those enabling seamless transition between heterogeneous indoor contexts or between indoor and outdoor environments, for example where Global Navigation Satellites Systems are underperforming or unavailable.

Multi-hop Self-calibration Algorithm for ultra-wideband (UWB) Anchor Node Positioning

Twentythree ultra-wideband anchors collaborate to calibrate themselves in challenging industrial conditions with limited connectivity. The algorithm is able to localize the anchors with an mean absolute error of only 21.6 cm.

Toward Seamless Localization: Situational Awareness using UWB Wearable Systems and Convolutional Neural Networks

Necessity of environment detection in a seamless localization scenario, where the mobile object moves in different environments and uses various positioning methods. For example:
1) crowded urban area, where (s)he uses 5G signals for positioning,
2) indoor building, where (s)he utilizes camera and map-based method for localization,
3) open area, where the pedestrian deploys GNSS receivers to locate itself.

Analysis of the Recent AI for Pedestrian Navigation With Wearable Inertial Sensors

AI improves wearable inertial device-based pedestrian navigation. This paper classifies these AI methods into two categories based on signal segmentation methods: human gait and sampling frequency-driven. To complete the analysis, SELDA (category 1), RONIN (category 2) and a non-AI gait-driven method SmartWalk were evaluated in a 2,17 km long open access dataset, representative of the diversity of pedestrians’ mobility surroundings.
