1) The document provides instructions for collecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth sensor data throughout a building to create a positioning database using a mobile app. 2) Users walk throughout the building twice in each direction, placing location markers on a floor plan as they go to associate the collected sensor data with locations. 3) Once all paths have been covered, the collected data is synchronized to a server to complete the database for indoor positioning.

You are halfway to setting up OmniAccess Stellar LBS
Campus Indoor Location solution.
Venue modeling done. Data collection to do.

The aim is to create a positioning database (PDB)
from the collected sensory data of the whole venue.
e.g : Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) power levels

For positioning on Android,
existing Wi-Fi infrastructure can be used
For positioning on iOS,
our BLE beacons are required
Our BLE beacons can also be used
if your Wi-Fi network is not dense enough.
BLE-based positioning only works on Android 4.3+

Once your Wi-Fi and/or BLE infrastructure is ready.
You can go collect measurements in the building.

To collect measurements,
you’ll walk everywhere in the building
twice (forth, back, forth, back)
with our setup mobile app running on your smartphone

The app displays the floor plans.
While walking, every once in a while,
place a waypoint at your current location on the floor plans.
The system will associate the sensory data collected along the way
with your locations and will generate a Positioning Database.

Our setup mobile app is called OmniAccess Stellar LBS installer,
available on Google Play and Apple App Store
The one on Google Play can be used for both Wi-Fi and BLE deployment.
The one on Apple App Store only is used for BLE deployment.
