Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

GPS (Global Positioning System) is used to determine the position of an outdoor user with a high degree of accuracy, but it works poorly or not at all in indoor locations. Many different techniques have been proposed for indoor positioning, including reference points, such as NFC tags or Bluetooth beacons, radio signal triangulation, and pattern or image recognition [3, 6]. Any of these techniques can be combined with each other or with a dead-reckoning approach, adding user movement data from sensors, in order to arrive at a more precise position estimate [3]. Indoor navigation user interfaces are essentially the same as those used outdoors: maps, turn-by-turn directions, and augmented reality.
