Compute Positioning Quality (Indoor Positioning Tools)

Summary

Populates an IPS Quality dataset generated by the Create IPS Quality Dataset tool.

This tool extracts the positions computed by the ArcGIS IPS engine from IPS Quality recordings collected using the ArcGIS IPS Setup app and associates them with reference positions along the recording trajectory. Reference positions are obtained through a temporal interpolation of the waypoints (called survey points in the IPS Setup app) of a recording trajectory.

Usage

  • The output point features will be appended to the Computed Positions and Reference Positions feature classes in the specified Target IPS Quality Dataset parameter value.

  • This tool creates the following fields:

    • Level Match

    • LOS to Computed

    • Distance to Computed

    • Level of Accuracy

    See Compute IPS positioning quality for more information.

  • The Target IPS Quality Dataset parameter value must be a feature dataset in a file or enterprise geodatabase containing two feature classes that conform to the Computed Positions feature class and Reference Positions feature class in the IPS model.

  • The IPS Recordings Features parameter value must be a feature layer, feature class, or feature service that conforms to the IPS Recordings feature class in the IPS model.

  • The Sight Blocking Details Features parameter value must be a feature layer, feature class, or feature service that conforms to the Details feature class in the Indoors Information Model. Filter these features to include only those that are blocking the line of sight. For example, use a definition query to only select features representing walls. Typically, this information is encoded in the Use Type field.

Parameters

Target IPS Quality Dataset

The IPS Quality dataset generated by the Create IPS Quality Dataset tool that will be populated.

Dataset

IPS Recordings Features

The IPS Recordings feature layer that contains recordings collected using the ArcGIS IPS Setup app.

Feature Layer

Sight Blocking Details Features

(Optional)

Details features from an Indoors dataset representing obstacles for line-of-sight calculation. It is recommended that you only use meaningful features, such as features that represent walls.
