Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Over the last years researchers proposed numerous indoor localization and navigation systems.
However, solutions that use WiFi or Radio Frequency Identification require infrastructure to be deployed in the navigation area and infrastructure less techniques, e.g. the ones based on mobile cell ID or dead reckoning suffer from large accuracy errors.

In this Thesis, we present a novel approach of infrastructure-less indoor navigation system based on computer vision Structure from Motion techniques.
We implemented a prototype localization and navigation system which can build a navigation map using area photos as input and accurately locate a user in the map.

In our client-server architecture based system, a client is a mobile application, which allows a user to locate her or his position by simply taking a photo.
The server handles map creation, localization queries and path finding.
After the implementation, we evaluated the localization accuracy and latency of the system by benchmarking navigation queries and the model creation algorithm.

The system is capable of successfully navigating in Aalto University computer science department library.
We were able to achieve an average error of 0.26 metres for successfully localised photos.
In the Thesis, we also present challenges that we solved to adapt computer vision techniques for localisation purposes.
Finally we observe the possible future work topics to adapt the system to a wide use.
