INdoor location is so HUGE is has to be tracked



TRX Systems To Demonstrate NEON 3D Indoor Location and Crowdsourced Navigation Mapping at 2015 Consumer Electronics Show

TRX NEON® FeatureSLAM software enables accurate indoor location by creating crowdsourced navigation maps (structural, magnetic, and radio frequency features) of indoor spaces.
Greenbelt, MD (PRWEB) December 18, 2014
TRX Systems developer of the NEON Indoor Location solution, is demonstrating 3D indoor location and its unique FeatureSLAM navigation map software at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The TRX CES demonstration runs from January 6 through January 9th, 2015 in Eureka Park, the flagship startup destination at CES, located in the Sands on Level 2 (booth 75390). Requests for meetings and scheduled demonstrations can also be made by contacting TRX at info@trxsystems.com.
Application developers want the location capabilities available when walking outdoors or driving on the highway to be available indoors and underground. NEON patented algorithms combine data from all available device sensors including inertial, magnetic, pressure, light, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and, if available, GPS to calculate location. Through FeatureSLAM, features are detected, located, and fused to form indoor navigation maps. Navigation maps consist of collections of geo-referenced features and are used to deliver critical location corrections. Without corrections, sensors that are inherently subject to inertial drift, magnetic interference, and other errors would provide severely degraded information and subsequently poor location accuracy over long durations.
FeatureSLAM crowdsources the construction of indoor navigation maps. Three dimensional structural, magnetic and RF feature maps shared between users enable consistent and robust location performance over a wide array of building environments. The NEON Location Services API provides location and elevation data for applications and can also accept location input from applications. TRX delivers its NEON Location Services for public safety applications using wearable accessories and is now implementing NEON location services as a software library available for standard Android mobile platforms. A key part of this implementation is deployment of TRX FeatureSLAM software as a cloud service, a TRX development supported by the National Science Foundation.
"In the TRX approach, structural, magnetic, RF, and other landmarks are detected and mapped as users move about." says Dr. Carole Teolis, cofounder and Chief Technology Officer, TRX Systems, Inc. "Integration of the crowdsourced FeatureSLAM capability with our time tested and patented sensor hub technology allows delivery of robust location almost anywhere".


Complex stuff, its 10 axis, can't dummy it down.  10 axis is 30% more compute power. Accuracy matters.
How's it coming QUIK?
