AI-assisted localization (snapshot vs. recurrent) and sensor fusion (deep Kalman filter)
Location awareness & context detection
Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality applied to localization
Benchmarking, assessment, evaluation, and standards
Data simulation & augmentation for AI-based systems
Health & wellness applications
Indoor maps, indoor geospatial data model, indoor mobile mapping & 3D building models
Location-based services & applications
Monitoring & modeling of human motion
Indoor positioning, navigation & tracking methods
Privacy & security for ILS
