New Delhi, April 8 -- esearchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, have developed an innovative real-time indoor mapping solution that can generate precise maps under any lighting or environmental conditions. According to officials, the breakthrough technology is especially vital for first responders during disaster relief operations as traditional infrastructure often becomes inaccessible or unreliable during public safety emergencies. Called 'UbiqMap', this lightweight technology leverages radio frequency-based imaging to create detailed maps of indoor environments. The technique is called Radio Tomographic Imaging or RTI.
An Indian patent has been filed for the technology and the research has also been published in the jo...
