Abstract

This chapter goes into some details on some of the non-radio technologies that have been used for locationing. A number of mechanisms such as sound/ultrasound, inertial sensors, imaging, infrared, etc. have been used. In the following, we are going to look at few that are gaining some attention for commercialization.
