Physical Analytics: A New Frontier for (Indoor) Location Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
The large body of research on localization has been driven by the goal of providing users with location-based services, be it mapping and navigation or local alerts and advertisements. However, as we discuss in this paper, location information can over time provide deep insight about about a user, going well beyond the location domain itself. We argue that unlocking the wealth of information available from location is valuable and represents a new and promising frontier for location-related research, especially in the indoor domain. We call this Physical Analytics, analogous to Online Analytics, with footsteps taking the place of a clickstream. We describe research opportunities, challenges, and our initial investigation in Physical Analytics.

Understanding customer behavior using indoor location analysis and visualization
Understanding customer behavior in brick-and-mortar stores and other physical indoor venues is essential for any business aiming to provide a more personal and compelling shopping experience, optimize store layout, and improve store operations. Achieving these goals ultimately leads to improved user experience, conversion rates, and increased revenue. Today’s mobile-based location technologies ...
متن کاملThe Great Indoors: A Data Management Frontier
Much of the research on data management for moving objects has assumed an outdoor setting in which objects move in Euclidean space (possibly constrained) or some form of spatial network and in which GPS or GPS-like positioning is assumed explicitly or implicitly. That body of research provides part of an enabling foundation for the growing Location-Based Services industry. However, we lead larg...

متن کاملImage-Based Positioning of Mobile Devices in Indoor Environments
Image-based positioning has important commercial applications such as augmented reality and customer analytics. In our previous work, we presented a two step pipeline for performing image based positioning of mobile devices in outdoor environments. In this chapter, we modify and extend the pipeline to work for indoor positioning. In the first step, we generate a sparse 2.5D georeferenced image ...
متن کاملIndoor - A New Data Management Frontier
Much research has been conducted on the management of outdoor moving objects. In contrast, relatively little research has been conducted on indoor moving objects. The indoor setting differs from outdoor settings in important ways, including the following two. First, indoor spaces exhibit complex topologies. They are composed of entities that are unique to indoor settings, e.g., rooms and hallwa...
