Ubiquitous Indoor Geolocation: A Case Study of Jewellery Management System

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Addressing and geolocation for indoor environments are important fields of research in the recent years. The problem of finding location of objects in indoor spaces is proposed to solve in two ways. The first, is to assign coordinates to objects and second is to divide space into cells and detect the presence or absence of objects in each cell to track them. In this paper the second approach is discussed by using Radio Frequency Identification technology to identify and track high value objects in jewellery retail industry. In Ubiquitous Sensor Networks, the reactivity or proactivity of the environment are important issues. Reactive environments wait for a request to response to it. Instead, in proactive spaces, the environment acts in advance to deal with an expected action. In this research, a geo-sensor network containing RFID readers, tags, and antennas which continuously exchange radio frequency signal streams is proposed to manage and monitor jewellery galleries ubiquitously. The system is also equipped with a GIS representation which provides a more user-friendly system to manage a jewellery gallery.

A Survey of Marker-Less Tracking and Registration Techniques for Health & Environmental Applications to Augmented Reality and Ubiquitous Geospatial Information Systems

“…All objects can measure their position from each other. If an Internet of Things (IoT) concept has been implemented in this smart city, then all objected are integrated and can easily perform their spatial analysis using the ubiquitous GIS architectures (e.g., IoT-based AR applications [134]). When we mainly consider AR-based marker-less registration and tracking techniques and services for health and environmental applications in the smart city, several critical discussions and issues will be opened.…”
