In this thesis we focus on the research and development of a mobile application for indoor navigation inside the Faculty of Computer and Information Science at University of Ljubljana. Apps like these navigate the user from his starting point to the final desired location in various ways of interacting.
As the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) has limited functionality inside buildings, we need to use sensors that are integrated in mobile
devices and other methods for better indoor localization and indoor positioning of the device. These systems are still under rapid development as mobile
phones are advancing and have more built-in features, sensors and all-in-all
better capabilities.
In this thesis we present the current state of the art technology of indoor
navigation systems, which sensors are used and how they are used and the
different algorithms and methods needed to properly navigate and localize
the device when measuring signals. We have also developed a prototype of a
mobile appplication for indoor navigation based on the IndoorAtlas platform,
where the user is navigated to his desired destination via a map display.
