Abstract
An indoor positioning system employs a target sensor attached to a structure to form an anchor node. A coordinate system of the target sensor is aligned with a coordinate system of the structure. A handheld device is configured to transmit a signal to an object of interest and, based on a return signal from the object of interest and communication with the target sensor, generate a description of a location of the object of interest, the location description being provided in the coordinate system of the structure.
