Low-cost and noisy sensor sources in modern smartphones introduce both interesting possibilities for new applications, and challenges for inference methods needing to cope with the low-quality data. This talks presents applications (and computational challenges) inspired by the sensors available in a standard iPhone: indoor positioning based on the compass sensor (magnetometer), inertial navigation driven by the IMU (accelerometer and gyroscope), and visual-inertial navigation utilizing the phone camera and IMU. The underlying methods are based on stochastic differential equation (SDE) models and Gaussian process based machine learning methods.
