Abstract :
The applications based on location data is an area that continues to expand and which is part of an overall context of mobility, in the outdoor environment, a Global Navigation Satellite System GNSS (such as GPS or the European Galileo project) is used allowing accuracy of a few meters, but in the indoor area, the signal is deteriorated due to the obstacles, other techniques are used. This paper provides in first part a survey of the indoor localization techniques. After presenting all the existing location technologies, I am going to introduce the system proposed based on the fusion of data from different sources.
