  • Abstract
    At present, indoor positioning systems is one of the areas of research that is continuously growing. The main aim here is to develop a system of indoor location with a similar functionality to outdoor location systems such as GPS (Global Positioning System). The main difficulty of indoor location systems lies in their establishment costs given the resources they initially need. This paper presents an innovative indoor location system based on the fusion of information from multiple sensors on a smartphone. This proposed system is evaluated in a case study with the aim of obtaining locations within a museum and displaying on the screen of a mobile device information about the paintings we are seeing in real time, thus improving the efficiency of the existing systems that rely on audio-guides.
