The New Frontiers of “Wireless Motion Capture and Fine-Scale Localization”

Abstract

This special issue in the IEEE Journal of Radio Frequency Identification (JRFID) was born as an initiative of the IEEE Council Of Radio Frequency Identification (CRFID) Technical Committee on &#x201C;Motion Capture and Localization&#x201D; (TC-MoCap) (<uri>https://mocap.ieee-rfid.org/</uri>). The latter (<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>) was established in Spring 2021 to promote activities and research in the field of RFID-based localization, ultra-precise Radio-Frequency (RF) positioning, and related fields. This initiative began with a highly successful workshop at IEEE RFID 2020 Conference (<uri>https://2020.ieee-rfid.org/workshop-on-wireless-mocap/</uri>). Since then, other workshop editions have followed each other at the IEEE RFID 2021 Conference (<uri>https://2021.ieee-rfid.org/workshop-on-wireless-motion-capture-and-fine-scale-localization/</uri>), IEEE RFID-TA 2021 Conference (<uri>https://2021.ieee-rfid-ta.org/social-event/</uri>), IEEE WiSEE 2021 Conference (<uri>https://attend.ieee.org/wisee-2021/program/workshops/</uri>) and are currently scheduled for the 2022 editions of the IEEE CRFID flagship conferences.
