\label{chap:relatedwork}  This chapter will discuss advantages and disadvantages of different approaches for indoor localization and  contrast them to the proposed method. While there is a wide range of methods for indoor localization---from laser range scanners over depth cameras to RFID tag based localization---only methods that use the same technical setup, that is a setup (a  monocular camera, camera)  are discussed. In general, comparing the accuracy and run-time of different localization methods is difficult: target systems and test environments are often too different to draw comparisons. The annual Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition aims at setting a standardized testbed for comparing near real-time indoor location technologies. However, since the competition does not require lightweight platforms and allows for using external infrastructure such as WiFi routers, no vision-only approach was presented at the competition yet.
