Working Group 5.5 – Ubiquitous Positioning
(Joint Working Group with Commission 6)
This group, which is a joint working group between FIG and IAG, will
focus on the development of shared resources that extend our understanding
of the theory, tools and technologies applicable to the development of
ubiquitous positioning systems. It has a major focus on;
- Performance characterization of positioning sensors and technologies
that can play a role in the development of ubiquitous positioning
systems
- Theoretical and practical evaluation of current algorithms for
measurement integration within ubiquitous positioning systems.
- The development of new measurement integration algorithms based
around innovative modeling techniques in other research domains such as
machine learning and genetic algorithms, spatial cognition etc.
- Establishing links between the outcomes of this WG and other IAG and
FIG WGs (across the whole period)
- Generating formal parameters that describe the performance of
current and emerging positioning technologies that can inform FIG and
IAG members.
