**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).

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

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
