<p>Indoor navigation could be used in many applications to enhance performance in</p><p>its specific area. Anything from serious life critical tasks like aiding firefighters or</p><p>coordinating military attacks to more simple every day use like finding a desired</p><p>shop in a large supermarket could be considered. Smartphones of today introduce</p><p>an interesting platform with capabilities like existing, more clumsy, indoor</p><p>navigation systems. The iPhone 3GS is a powerful smartphone that lets the programmer</p><p>use its hardware in an efficient and easy way. The iPhone 3GS has a</p><p>3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis magnetometer and hardware accelerated image rendering</p><p>which is used in this thesis to track the user on an indoor map. A particle</p><p>filter is used to track the position of the user. The implementation shows how</p><p>many particles the iPhone will be able to handle and update in real time without</p><p>lag in the application.</p>
