Chennai, April 7 -- Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M)
have developed an innovative real-time indoor mapping solution that could generate
precise maps under any lighting or environmental conditions, with minimal dependence
on pre-existing infrastructure.
This 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 using a technique called 'Radio Tomographic
Imaging' or RTI.
