Abstract
A system and method for position tagging within an environment includes at least one mobile electronic device adapted to be moved within the environment and a pedestrian dead reckoning module. The at least one mobile electronic device includes an inertial measurement unit and at least one of a near field communication chip, barcode scanner, global positioning system, Bluetooth receiver or WiFi receiver. The pedestrian dead reckoning module is adapted to query and record time stamped readings from the inertial measurement unit and the at least one of the near field communication chip, barcode scanner, global positioning system, Bluetooth receiver or WiFi receiver. The system and method may generate one or more spatial maps of the environment through the collection of radio frequency signal data along with the time stamped readings.
