TOR -- Infrastructure-free cooperative localization

Last week we tested our TOR (Tactical lOcatoR) system on smoke divers performing search operations in the KTH R1 reactor hall. The video shows the realtime localization results displayed in the Android GUI. (It speeds up to x4 after 1:30)

Thanks to firefighters from Attunda and Uppsala!

Thanks to the researchers involved in the measurements:

The TOR system was built at the Signal Processing Department at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
