Important notes on the official results:
- The JRC (European Commission Joint Research Center) team was NOT competing. This team helped with the organization of the event. In particular, they used 3D laser scanners to map the evaluation area and measure ground truth coordinates for all evaluation points. The accuracy reported for this team is based on their mobile lidar-based system (different than the ground-truth measuring system) that won the 2015 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition. Even though not officially competing, we provide this system’s results for awareness.
- The team from Kiwii logged the estimated locations for two of the points while swapping X and Y coordinates. This resulted into a higher average localization error. When this mistake is taken into account, the average localization error for this team is within 2m.
