Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the ArcGIS IPS extension.
ArcGIS IPS uses radio signals broadcasted from either Wi-Fi access points or Bluetooth beacons to enable indoor positioning in an indoor environment. An Indoor Positioning Dataset represents the distribution of these signals across an indoor environment and allows you to verify the spatial coverage of ArcGIS IPS in your facilities and to enable spatial analysis and quality assessment in ArcGIS Pro.
The Indoor Positioning Dataset uses the following components of the ArcGIS IPS Data Model:
- IPS Positioning Datasets—A polygon feature class that contains a catalog of positioning datasets. It represents the geographic footprint of the datasets, and contains summary information. Each feature has a one-to-many relationship with IPS Positioning Points.
- IPS Positioning Points—A point feature class that contains a hex-grid-shaped distribution of points where radio signal data can be sampled. Each feature has a one-to-many relationship with IPS Positioning Signals.
- IPS Positioning Signals—This table contains the actual radio signal values across the IPS Positioning Points distribution.
Use one of the following methods to generate an Indoor Positioning Dataset using the Generate Indoor Positioning Dataset tool:
- Generate a survey-less Indoor Positioning Dataset.
- Generate a survey-based Indoor Positioning Dataset.
After generating an Indoor Positioning Dataset, you can verify its spatial coverage.
