Indoor navigation algorithms available for everyone

What is open source?

Open-source software gives developers full access to the source code, allowing them to inspect, modify, and improve it freely. Here is why developers tend to choose open-source solutions:

• 

  Community

  Open source software often inspires a community of users and developers to form around it. Over 80% of organizations support open source contributions, fueling collaboration, shared innovation, and continuous improvement.

• 

  Security

  Anyone can view and modify software developed by using open source codes,, someone might spot and correct errors or omissions that a program's original authors might have missed

• 

  Control

  Open source puts users in control. Anyone can audit the code for unwanted behavior and customize it to fit their needs.

• 

  Stability

  Since programmers publicly distribute the source code for open source software, users relying on that software for critical tasks can be sure their tools won't disappear or fall into disrepair if their original creators stop working on them

• 

  Training

  Open source accelerates learning. About 68% of open-source developers say they learned to code through community-created resources and real-world project exposure.

What Navigine offers through its open source initiative

• Indoor Routing Library a set of navigation algorithms for working with the routing graph that are useful for creating location-powered solutions of Indoor Navigation and Wayfinding for various spaces and environments

• iOS and Android Pedometer algorithm: estimates moment of persons' steps and thier length based on reading from accelerometer

• Complementary filter algorithm: evaluates orientation in space by fusing data from gyroscope, magnetometer and acceleromete

• Position estimator: gives current location as the position of nearest transmitter, based on the readings of the RSSI (a RSSI based algorithm for indoor localization).

• GNSS navigation: Integrates GNSS positioning with an indoor solution to provide smooth transitioning between indoor and outdoor areas.

• Radiomap localization: Provide an opportunity to create a navigation system without any additional equipment by measuring the radio map of the area and then using it as a reference for a KNN algorithm.

• Solution postprocessing: Smoothing solution or fitting it to the predefined graph to get better visually pleasing results.
