**OwlPS** (_Owl Positioning System_) is a positioning (localization) system |
|
|
|
based on the IEEE 802.11 radio network (Wi-Fi), targeting mainly indoor |
|
|
|
environments. It uses an infrastructure-centred architecture, which means the |
|
|
|
infrastructure does the measurements and computes the mobile terminals' |
|
|
|
positions, rather than the terminals computing their own positions (as it is |
|
|
|
the case for instance with the GPS). |

OwlPS implements various positioning techniques and algorithms based on the |
|
|
|
radio signal strength. It features a self-calibration (or autocalibration) |
|
|
|
mechanism that avoids the time-consuming manual fingerprinting phase and allows |

considering dynamic changes of the environment (human, climatic, etc.) when |

OwlPS is not currently actively maintained, as I'm not working on indoor |

positioning at the moment, but I'll happily consider any contribution (or |
