Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition • 36 submissions from 32 teams • 21 teams with 22 systems eventually participated • Academia, Industry, Startups • Submissions were classified into two categories • Infrastructure-free (9 teams) • No hardware deployment • WiFi and sensors (accelerometer, gyro, etc.) • Infrastructure-based (13 teams) • Custom hardware deployment (magnetic, custom RF, light-based, etc.)
Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition • 2-day event • Day 1: Sunday • Teams were given 7 hours to setup and calibrate their systems • Day 2: Monday • Each team was asked to provide the coordinates of 20 test points • Test points’ coordinates were manually measured using laser range finders • Evaluation Metric • Average localization error across the 20 test points
