This repository is part of the project "An Extensible Framework for Indoor Positioning on Mobile Devices", which is the master thesis that I did in 2011-2012 at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel to achieve my "Master in Applied Computer Science". My promotor for this master thesis was Prof. Dr. Beat Signer. The thesis document can be found here.
The entire project is divided into several repositories:
This is an Android application to collect fingerprints for a WLAN indoor positioning system. The easiest way to use this project is to open it as an Eclipse project and running it from there. The application is dependent on the FIPS-Datastore for the data entities so the easiest way to resolve the dependencies is to link the projects in eclipse (or alternatively put the src files and libraries in the Android project).
The application works as follows: select a grid that denotes your location on the map and a WLAN scan will be initiated. The results from this scan are then saved to the folder ips_samples on your device. A menu to configure some settings is also provided.
