Abstract
The growing importance of ubiquitous and context-aware computing has led to an increasing interest in location-based mobile application. In this paper, we are going to describe the concept of indoor localization, as well as a real-world application to a museum. Indoor localization is a key feature of FIBAC, a research project aimed at creating a system prototype able to set up customized visit routes in museums and art galleries, thanks to a Mobile App which will locate the visitor within the environment. For these reasons in this paper we are going to experiment fingerprint and trilateration algorithms by means of two real-case studies. Starting from the analysis of the correct room localization rate and the localization error of different scenarios we describe the adopted approach within a real museum environment (i.e., National Archeological Museum of Naples). Experimentation has proven the feasibility of localization-based services in this kind of context.
