Abstract


The paper presents a comprehensive survey of contemporary methods, technologies and systems for localization and tracking of moving objects in indoor environment and gives their comparison according to various criteria, such as accuracy, privacy, scalability and type of location data. Some representative examples of indoor LBS applications available on the market are presented that are based on reviewed localization technologies. The prominent research directions in this domain are categorized and discussed.
