Abstract

PDR (Pedestrian Dead Reckoning) is a very promising technology for indoor positioning. We held a technical challenge, entitled the UbiComp/ISWC 2015 PDR Challenge, consisting of the following three categories: a PDR algorithm category; a PDR Evaluation method category; and an exhibition. In this paper, we especially focus on several systems for the PDR algorithm category. A PDR skeleton was prepared for the participants. Using an Android skeleton, participants focus on implementing the PDR algorithm because of the skeleton's various functions, such as sensor data acquisition, trajectory visualization, and sensor data upload. The evaluation server evaluates the accuracy of each PDR algorithm automatically as often as sensor data is uploaded to the server and provides a trajectory image file so that participants can compare their PDR algorithms in real time.
