First IPIN 2025 call for competition

by Francesco Potortì

* * * CALL FOR COMPETITION 2025 * * * Twelfth IPIN Competition onsite and offsite Indoor Localization <https://competition.ipin-conference.org> offsite: 8-10 Sep, EvaalAPI web service onsite: 13-14 Sep (tentative), Tampere (FI) awards: 18 Sep, IPIN conference ================================================================================ The International conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Localization (IPIN) is pleased to announce the twelfth IPIN Indoor Localization Competition. The competition is aimed at bringing together the academic and industrial research communities for evaluating different approaches and envisioning new methods for indoor and seamless localisation, an area where no generally accepted standards exist yet. The competition builds on the experience of previous competitions and is based on the EvAAL framework, ensuring experience, solidity and a well-founded scientific method. The IPIN 2025 Indoor Localization Competition consists of several Tracks: • Track 1: Smartphone (onsite) • Track 3: Smartphone (offsite-online) • Track 4: Foot-mounted IMU (offsite-online) • Track 5: Smartphone (offsite-online) • Track 7: 5G CIR + IMU (offsite-offline) Results will be presented during dedicated sessions of the IPIN conference, during which prizes will be awarded to the winners. ONSITE TRACK The onsite competition will take place in Tampere, before the IPIN conference. An actor carries the competing system by walking in the competition area. Competing systems process data locally, without using any external aid, and provide position estimates in real time. Survey of the area and system calibration is restricted to a single day, before the competition proper. Track 1 – Smartphone: The actor walks carrying a smartphone which runs the competing system, using the sensors available on the smartphones to identify the user's position. OFFSITE TRACKS Competitors in offsite competitions are provided with sensors data and use them to estimate the user position. Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using ground truth reference data (testing trials) and compete using new unreferenced data (scoring trials). Scoring trials are run on a Track-specific day. Once testing trials are published, competitors can run them at their premises. When the EvaalAPI server is made available, they must run the testing trials on it. Scoring trials are provided to competitors only once they complete a run of the testing trials. OFFSITE-ONLINE TRACKS Competitors run their trials through the EvaalAPI in online mode to emulate the causal, real-time behaviour of onsite Tracks. See the paper "Offsite evaluation of localization systems: criteria, systems and results from IPIN 2021-22 competitions" for a conceptual overview. Track 3 – Smartphone: A pedestrian walking under realistic conditions in buildings with possibly small outdoor parts, using data provided by a conventional smartphone. Track 4 – Foot-mounted IMU: A pedestrian carries ULISS (Ubiquituous Localization with Inertial Sensors and Satellites) on his foot while walking a path with possible small outdoor parts. ULISS provides IMU, magnetic and pressure readings plus GNSS data. No maps are provided. Track 5 – Smartphone with Navigation Robot: A pedestrian in a museum records PDR and VIO data provided by a conventional smartphone. A navigation robot moves with/around the pedestrian and provides its location and UWB ranging/AoA between the smartphone. OFFSITE-OFFLINE TRACK Competitors run their Trials through the EvaalAPI in offline mode, where competitors download sensors data all at once and have a limited time to upload all estimates at once. Track 7 – 5G CIR + IMU: A pedestrian with a smartphone moves through a warehouse-like environment in LOS and NLOS conditions and observes Channel Impulse Response and IMU data. TECHNICAL COMPETITION DETAILS The evaluation criteria for the competition, restrictions on the accepted technologies, technical rules and a description of the benchmarks are detailed in the technical annexes to this call. Possible refinements of the annexes, even based on applicants' comments, will be distributed on the competition discussion mailing list contest(a)evaal.aaloa.org and will appear on the competitions site <https://competition.ipin-conference.org>. Competitors in offsite Tracks obtain sensor readings and submit position estimates through the EvaalAPI web service <https://evaal.aaloa.org/evaalapi>. The aim is to emulate a causal process similar to the data flow of an onsite Track: input data can be read only once and only in sequence, and the timestamp of each submitted position estimate is the same as the latest sensor reading. All the data gathered by the competition committee during the competition, including data produced by competing systems in offsite Tracks, will be published after the competition for the purpose of research and comparison. Winners of the competition are announced on the IPIN web site and on the contest mailing list. COMPETITOR ADMISSION PROCESS A competitor can be any individual or group of individuals working as a single team, associated to a single or a number of organizations, who wants to participate in one or several tracks. Only one team from the same organisation (laboratory) is allowed to compete. Competitors apply for admission to the competition tracks at the IPIN conference site by providing a short (2 pages in PDF) technical description of their localization system, including a description of the algorithms and protocols used. Track chairs will accept or refuse the application in a short time, based on technical feasibility and logistic constraints. After acceptance of the competitor's technical description, one member of the competing team is required to register on the IPIN conference site, specifying the Track to which the registration is linked. Full registration to the conference covers participation in the competition process for one Track (allotted time, support and space) and the submission of one paper describing the system. Participation in additional Tracks can be added for an additional fee. A reduced registration fee not including access to the conference is available for offsite Tracks. Competitors who wish to test their onsite system which does not fit any of the onsite tracks may ask chairs of Track 1 to be admitted off-track, which will be granted subject to organisational contraints. Be sure to subscribe to the contest mailing list to get updates on the competition: http://evaal.aaloa.org/mailman/listinfo/contest IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------------------------------- Technical annexes published: 5 May Application opens: 5 Jun Testing trials published (offsite): 16 Jun Application closes: 31 Aug EvaalAPI server available: (offsite): 1 Sep Testing trial completed (offsite): 5 Sep Offsite competition: 8 - 10 Sep Onsite competition: 13 - 14 Sep Proclamation of winners: 18 Sep ---------------------------------------------------- COMMITTEES IPIN Competition committee: Francesco Potortì – ISTI-CNR (IT) Antonino Crivello – ISTI-CNR (IT) Miguel Ortiz – GEOLOC Team, University Gustave Eiffel (FR) Joaquín Torres-Sospedra – Universitat de València (ES) Track chairs: Track 1 Filippo Palumbo – ISTI-CNR (IT) Davide La Rosa – ISTI-CNR (IT) Track 3 Joaquín Torres-Sospedra – Universitat de València (ES) Track 4 Miguel Ortiz – GEOLOC Team, University Gustave Eiffel (FR) Ni Zhu – GEOLOC Team, University Gustave Eiffel (FR) Track 5 Satoki Ogiso – AIST (JP) Ryosuke Ichikari – AIST (JP) Track 7 Maximilian Stahlke – Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (DE) Andreas Porada – Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (DE)

IPIN competition 2024: Technical Annexes are out

by Francesco Potortì

Please spread the word, sorry for duplicates * * * CALL FOR COMPETITION 2024 * * * Eleventh IPIN Competition onsite and offsite Indoor Localization <https://competition.ipin-conference.org> offsite: 25 Sep-4 Oct, EvaalAPI web service onsite: 9-13 Oct, Hong Kong awards: 17 Oct, IPIN conference ================================================================================ The International conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Localization (IPIN) is pleased to announce the eleventh IPIN Indoor Localization Competition. The competition is aimed at bringing together the academic and industrial research communities for evaluating different approaches and envisioning new methods for indoor and seamless localisation, an area where no generally accepted standards exist yet. The competition builds on the experience of previous competitions and is based on the EvAAL framework, ensuring experience, solidity and a well-founded scientific method. The IPIN 2024 Indoor Localization Competition consists of several Tracks: • Track 1: Smartphone (onsite) • Track 3: Smartphone (offsite-online) • Track 4: Foot-mounted IMU (offsite-online) • Track 6: Smartphone on vehicle (onsite) Results will be presented during dedicated sessions of the IPIN conference, during which prizes will be awarded to the winners. ONSITE TRACKS The competition will take place in Hong Kong, before the IPIN conference. An actor carries the competing system by walking in in a predefined area. Competing systems process data locally, without using any external aid, and provide position estimates in real time. Survey of the area and system calibration is restricted to a single day, before the competition proper. Track 1 - Smartphone: The actor walks carrying a smartphone which runs the competing system, using the sensors available on the smartphones to identify the user's position. Track 6 – Smartphone on vehicle: A smartphone affixed to a car dashboard records sensors and impaired GNSS data on a partly outdoors, partly indoors route. Additionally, the driver walks an indoor path. OFFSITE-ONLINE TRACKS Competitors are provided with sensors data and use them to estimate the user position. Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using ground truth reference data (testing trials) and compete using new unreferenced data (scoring trials). Competitors run their trials through the EvaalAPI in the usual online mode to emulate the causal, real-time behaviour of onsite Tracks. Scoring trials are run on a Track-specific day. Prizes are awarded for a total worth to be announced. Track 3 - Smartphone: A pedestrian walking under realistic conditions in buildings with possibly small outdoor parts, using data provided by a conventional smartphone. Track 4 – Foot-mounted IMU: A pedestrian carries ULISS (Ubiquituous Localization with Inertial Sensors and Satellites) while walking a path with possible small outdoor parts. ULISS provides IMU, magnetic and pressure readings plus GNSS data. No maps are provided. Once testing trials are published, competitors can run them at their premises. When the EvaalAPI server is made available, they must run the testing trials on it. Scoring trials are provided to competitors only once they complete a run of the testing trials. TECHNICAL COMPETITION DETAILS The evaluation criteria for the competition, restrictions on the accepted technologies, technical rules and a description of the benchmarks are detailed in the technical annexes to this call. Possible refinements of the annexes, even based on applicants' comments, will be distributed on the competition discussion mailing list contest(a)evaal.aaloa.org and will appear on the competitions site <https://competition.ipin-conference.org>. Competitors in offsite Tracks obtain sensor readings and submit position estimates through the EvaalAPI web service <https://evaal.aaloa.org/evaalapi>. The aim is to emulate a causal process similar to the data flow of an onsite Track: input data can be read only once and only in sequence, and the timestamp of each submitted position estimate is the same as the latest sensor reading. All the data gathered by the competition committee during the competition, including data produced by competing systems in offsite Tracks, will be published after the competition for the purpose of research and comparison. Winners of the competition are announced on the IPIN web site and on the contest mailing list. Scientific publishing opportunities will be offered to competitors. COMPETITOR ADMISSION PROCESS A competitor can be any individual or group of individuals working as a single team, associated to a single or a number of organizations, who wants to participate in one or several tracks. Only one team from the same organisation (laboratory) is allowed to compete. Competitors apply for admission to the competition tracks by providing a short (2 pages) technical description of their localization system in PDF, which includes a description of the algorithms and protocols used. Track chairs will accept or refuse the application in a short time, based on technical feasibility and logistic constraints. Application page will be announced soon. After acceptance of the competitor's technical description, one member of the competing team is required to register on the IPIN conference site, specifying the Track to which the registration is linked. Full registration to the conference covers participation in the competition process for one Track (allotted time, support and space) and the submission of one paper describing the system. Participation in additional Tracks can be added for an additional fee. A reduced registration fee not including access to the conference may be possible for offsite Tracks, and will be announced in due time. Competitors who wish to test their onsite system which does not fit any of the onsite tracks may ask chairs of Track 1 to be admitted off-track, which will be granted depending on organisational contraints.

ONSITE TRACK The competition will take place in Nuremberg, during the Sunday before the IPIN conference. An actor carries the competing system by walking in in a predefined area. Competing systems process data locally, without using any external aid, and provide position estimates in real time. Survey of the area and system calibration is restricted to Saturday. Prizes are awarded for a total worth of 2000€. Track 1 - Smartphone: The actor walks carrying a smartphone which runs the competing system, using the sensors available on the smartphones to identify the user's position. OFFSITE-ONLINE TRACKS Competitors are provided with sensors data and use them to estimate the user position. Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using ground truth reference data (testing trials) and compete using new unreferenced data (scoring trials). Competitors run their Trials through the EvaalAPI in the usual online mode to emulate the causal, real-time behaviour of onsite Tracks. Scoring trials are run on a Track-specific day. Prizes are awarded for a total worth of 1000€ per Track. Track 3 - Smartphone: A pedestrian walking under realistic conditions in buildings with possibly small outdoor parts, using data provided by a conventional smartphone. Track 4 – Foot-mounted IMU: A pedestrian carries ULISS (Ubiquituous Localization with Inertial Sensors and Satellites), a state-of-the-art Inertial Navigation System producing IMU magnetic and pressure readings plus GNSS data, without the help of any maps, with possibly small outdoor parts. Track 6 – Smartphone on vehicle: A smartphone affixed to a car dashboard records sensors and impaired GNSS data on a partly outdoors, partly indoors route. Track 7 – 5G CIR: A pedestrian with a smartphone moves through a warehouse-like environment in LOS and NLOS conditions and observe Channel Impulse Response. Track 8 – 5G ToF: People with a smartphone in hand or on a stick receive ToA data in an open-plan office. OFFSITE-OFFLINE TRACK Competitors are provided with sensors data and use them to estimate the user position. Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using ground truth reference data (testing trials) and compete using new unreferenced data (scoring trials). Competitors run their Trials through the EvaalAPI in the new offline mode, where competitors download sensors data all at once and have a limited time to upload all estimates at once. Prizes are awarded for a total worth of 1000€. Track 5 - Smartphone: A pedestrian in a commercial facility records PDR and BLE data provided by a smartphone for offline estimation of the walked path. TECHNICAL COMPETITION DETAILS The evaluation criteria for the competition, restrictions on the accepted technologies, technical rules and a description of the benchmarks are detailed in the technical annexes to this call. Possible refinements of the annexes, even based on applicants' comments, will be distributed on the competition discussion mailing list contest(a)evaal.aaloa.org and will appear on the EvAAL web site <https://evaal.aaloa.org/>. Competitors in offsite Tracks obtain sensor readings and submit position estimates through the EvaalAPI web service <https://evaal.aaloa.org/evaalapi>. For offsite-online Tracks, the aim is to emulate a causal process similar to the data flow of an onsite Track: input data can be read only once and only in sequence, and the timestamp of each submitted position estimate is the same as the latest sensor reading. For offsite-offline Tracks, the aim is to emulate a batch process with constrained computation timing. All the data gathered by the competition committee during the competition, including data produced by competing systems in offsite Tracks, will be published after the competition for the purpose of research and comparison. Winners of the competition are announced on the EvAAL and IPIN web sites and on the contest mailing list. Scientific publishing opportunities will be offered to competitors. COMPETITOR ADMISSION PROCESS A competitor can be any individual or group of individuals working as a single team, associated to a single or a number of organizations, who wants to participate in one or several tracks. Only one team from the same organisation (laboratory) is allowed to compete. Competitors apply for admission to the competition tracks at https://evaal.aaloa.org/2023/application by providing a short (2 to 4 pages) technical description of their localization system in PDF, which includes a description of the algorithms and protocols used. The technical description must be sent by e-mail to the chairs of the intended track, which is indicated in the relative annex. Track chairs will accept or refuse the application in a short time, based on technical feasibility and logistic constraints. After acceptance of the competitor's technical description, one member of the competing team is required to register on the IPIN conference site, specifying that the registration is linked to a competition track. Full registration to the conference covers participation in the competition process for one Track (allotted time, support and space) and the submission of one paper describing the system. Participation in a second Track can be added for an additional fee. A reduced registration fee not including access to the conference is possible for offsite Tracks. See http://ipin-conference.org/2023/registration_fees.html Competitors who are authors of an accepted paper describing their system will be allowed some days after the conference for updating it with competition data before publication. Competitors who wish to test their onsite system which does not fit any of the onsite tracks may ask chairs of Track 1 to be admitted off-track, which will be granted depending on organisational contraints.

IPIN 2023 call for competition

by Francesco Potortì

* * * CALL FOR COMPETITION * * * Tenth IPIN Competition onsite and offsite Indoor Localization <http://evaal.aaloa.org> 23-24 September 2023, Nuremberg (DE) ================================================================================ The International conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Localization IPIN is pleased to announce the tenth IPIN 2023 Indoor Localization Competition. The competition is aimed at bringing together the academic and industrial research communities for evaluating different approaches and envisioning new methods for indoor and seamless localisation, an area where no generally accepted standards exist yet. The competition builds on the experience of previous competitions and is based on the EvAAL framework, ensuring experience, solidity and a well-founded scientific method. The IPIN 2023 Indoor Localization Competition consists of three categories of contests: onsite, offsite-online, offsite-offline: • Track 1: Smartphone (onsite) • Track 3: Smartphone (offsite-online) • Track 4: Foot-mounted IMU (offsite-online) • Track 5: Smartphone (offsite-offline) • Track 6: Smartphone on vehicle (offsite-online) • Track 7: 5G CIR (offsite-online) • Track 8: 5G ToF (offsite-online) Results will be presented during dedicated sessions of the IPIN conference and prizes will be awarded to the winners. ONSITE TRACK The competition will take place in Nuremberg, during the Sunday before the IPIN conference. An actor carries the competing system by walking in in a predefined area. Competing systems process data locally, without using any external aid, and provide position estimates in real time. Survey of the area and system calibration is restricted to Saturday. Track 1 - Smartphone: The actor walks carrying a smartphone which runs the competing system, using the sensors available on the smartphones to identify the user's position. OFFSITE-ONLINE TRACKS Competitors are provided with sensors data and use them to estimate the user position. Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using ground truth reference data (testing trials) and compete using new unreferenced data (scoring trials). Competitors run their Trials through the EvaalAPI in the usual online mode to emulate the causal, real-time behaviour of onsite Tracks. Scoring trials are run on a Track-specific day during the second week of September. Track 3 - Smartphone: A pedestrian walking under realistic conditions in buildings with possibly small outdoor parts, using data provided by a conventional smartphone. Track 4 – Foot-mounted IMU: A pedestrian carries ULISS (Ubiquituous Localization with Inertial Sensors and Satellites), a state-of-the-art Inertial Navigation System producing IMU magnetic and pressure readings plus GNSS data, without the help of any maps, with possibly small outdoor parts. Track 6 – Smartphone on vehicle: A smartphone affixed to a car dashboard records sensors and impaired GNSS data on a partly outdoors, partly indoors route. Track 7 – 5G CIR: A pedestrian with a smartphone moves through a warehouse-like environment in LOS and NLOS conditions and observe Channel Impulse Response. Track 8 – 5G ToF: People with a smartphone in hand or on a stick receive ToA data in an open-plan office. OFFSITE-OFFLINE TRACK Competitors are provided with sensors data and use them to estimate the user position. Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using ground truth reference data (testing trials) and compete using new unreferenced data (scoring trials). Competitors run their Trials through the EvaalAPI in the new offline mode, where competitors download sensors data all at once and have a limited time to upload all estimates at once. Scoring trials are run on a Track-specific day during the second week of September. Track 5 - Smartphone: A pedestrian in a commercial facility records PDR and BLE data provided by a smartphone for offline estimation of the walked path. TECHNICAL COMPETITION DETAILS The evaluation criteria for the competition, restrictions on the accepted technologies, technical rules and a description of the benchmarks are detailed in the technical annexes to this call. Possible refinements of the annexes, even based on applicants' comments, will be distributed on the competition discussion mailing list contest(a)evaal.aaloa.org and will appear on the EvAAL web site <https://evaal.aaloa.org/>. Competitors in offsite Tracks obtain sensor readings and submit position estimates through the EvaalAPI web service <https://evaal.aaloa.org/evaalapi>. For offsite-online Tracks, the aim is to emulate a causal process similar to the data flow of an onsite Track: input data can be read only once and only in sequence, and the timestamp of each submitted position estimate is the same as the latest sensor reading. For offsite-offline Tracks, the aim is to emulate a batch process with constrained computation timing. All the data gathered by the competition committee during the competition, including data produced by competing systems in offsite Tracks, will be published after the competition for the purpose of research and comparison. Winners of the competition are announced on the EvAAL and IPIN web sites and on the contest mailing list. Scientific publishing opportunities will be offered to competitors. COMPETITOR ADMISSION PROCESS (preliminary) A competitor can be any individual or group of individuals working as a single team, associated to a single or a number of organizations, who wants to participate in one or several tracks. Only one team from the same organisation (laboratory) is allowed to compete. Competitors apply for admission to the competition tracks by providing a short (2 to 4 pages) technical description of their localization system in PDF, which includes a description of the algorithms and protocols used. The technical description must be sent by e-mail to the chairs of the intended track, which is indicated in the relative annex. Track chairs will accept or refuse the application in a short time, based on technical feasibility and logistic constraints. After acceptance of the competitor's technical description, one member of the competing team is required to register to the IPIN conference, specifying that the registration is linked to a competition track. Full registration to the conference covers participation in the competition process (allotted time, support and space) and the submission of one paper describing the system. Note: subscriptions related to competion allow for a single paper to be submitted, rather than the two papers mentioned in the instructions for authors. Competitors who are authors of an accepted paper will be allowed some time after the conference for updating it before publication (to be confirmed). Competitors who wish to test their onsite system which does not fit any of the onsite tracks may ask chairs of Track 1 to be admitted off-track, which will be granted depending on organisational contraints.
