ArcGIS IPS<\/a> is an indoor positioning system that shows your real-time location inside a building as a blue dot on a map. It enables use cases such as indoor navigation, location sharing, and location data capture.<\/p>\n

The new ArcGIS IPS release comes with a new set of geoprocessing tools (GP tools) in ArcGIS Pro 3.1 that help analyze and improve the quality of your indoor positioning deployment. The ArcGIS IPS Setup 1.3 release supports the new quality assessment checks and brings improvements in usability.<\/p>\n

Advanced visualizations<\/h3>\n

In addition to basic visualizations, use advanced visualization tools to explore temporal performance, more details on accuracy levels, and better identify quality issues by combining analyses.<\/p>\n

Set a custom accuracy level<\/strong><\/p>\n

By applying a color code to the Reference Positions features and creating custom classes you can get a more granular overview of all accuracy levels across your whole IPS deployment.<\/p>\n

You can also explore positioning performance temporally. A time slider visualizes the Reference Positions and Computed Positions feature classes in intervals, providing you with information on the development of IPS Engine performance over time.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1846642,"id":1846642,"title":"6-Use spatiotemporal analysis","filename":"6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis.gif","filesize":135161,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-ips\/indoor-gis\/whats-new-in-arcgis-ips-february-2023\/6-use-spatiotemporal-analysis","alt":"Use spatiotemporal analysis, indoor map in ArcGIS Pro","author":"9212","description":"","caption":"","name":"6-use-spatiotemporal-analysis","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1845412,"date":"2023-02-21 11:13:05","modified":"2023-02-21 11:13:20","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":650,"height":427,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis.gif","medium-width":397,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis.gif","medium_large-width":650,"medium_large-height":427,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis.gif","large-width":650,"large-height":427,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis.gif","1536x1536-width":650,"1536x1536-height":427,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis.gif","2048x2048-width":650,"2048x2048-height":427,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis.gif","card_image-width":650,"card_image-height":427,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-Use-spatiotemporal-analysis.gif","wide_image-width":650,"wide_image-height":427}},"image_position":"left-center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
