Practical location estimation is never ideal, and each estimate burdened with a certain level of error. In many use-case scenarios, knowing the magnitude these errors can significantly improve usability estimates. The localization for different approaches are currently assessed using static performance benchmarks. These benchmarks typically provide aggregate metrics that statistically characterize across entire deployment environment. Due to potentially dynamic nature spatial heterogeneity...
