An Efficient Surface Map Creation and Tracking Using Smartphone Sensors and Crowdsourcing
Like Smart Home and Smart Devices, Smart Navigation has become necessary to travel through the congestion of the structure of either building or in the wild. The advancement in smartphone technology and incorporation of many different precise sensors have made the smartphone a unique choice for deve...
