Mobile Location Based Services (MLBS) have been in operation since the 1970s. Conceived initially for military use, the Global Positioning System technology was later released to the world for other applications. As usage of the technology increased, mobile network points, developed by mobile service operators, supplemented its usage in various applications of MLBS. This chapter charts the trajectory of MLBS applications in the mass market, afforded by the evolution of technology, digital, and mobility cultures. Assimilating various MLBS classifications, it then situates examples into four quadrants according to the measures of user-position or device-position focus, and alert-aware or active-aware applications. The privacy implications of MLBS are captured on the economic, social, and political fronts, and its future is discussed.

Wireless communication has become important in location-based services. The enormous amount of data is extracted for useful information to solve the real world problem. Global positioning system, is used to captures the position of an object at specific time period. The scheme is finding the congested route by considering the number of vehicles in a road segment. It consists of two methods, firstly it finds the group of points based on consistency of route points and second it arranges the groups in sequence of values for each route

This paper presents a nonlinear vision-based observer to estimate 3D translational position and velocity of a quadrotor aerial robot for closed-loop, position-based, visual-servo control in global positioning system (GPS)-denied environments. The method allows for motion control in areas where GPS signals are weak or absent, for example, inside of a building. Herein, the robot uses a low-cost on-board camera to observe at least two feature points fixed in the world frame to self-localize for feedback control, without constraints on the altitude of the robot. The nonlinear observer described takes advantage of the geometry of the perspective projection and is designed to update the translational position and velocity in real-time by exploiting visual information and information from an inertial measurement unit. One key advantage of the algorithm is it does not require constraints or assumptions on the altitude and initial estimation errors. Two new controllers based on the backstepping technique that take advantage of the estimator's output are described and implemented for trajectory tracking. The Lyapunov method is used to show asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. Simulation and experimental results from an indoor environment where GPS localization is not available are presented to demonstrate feasibility and validate the performance of the observer and control system for hovering and tracking a circular trajectory defined in the world frame.

Global Positioning System (GPS) is being used more and more for a wide range of applications. This is a reliable position, navigation for end-users of anywhere in the world or around the globe, on any weather, day or night. The synchronization benefit gives that the GPS has three segments: space, control and client GPS has turned into a broadly utilized route apparatus over the world and turn into a helpful instrument for mapping, overviews, business, logical utilizations, checking and diversion has gone. As in any of the current GPS systems of geographic and entertainment, the security requirements of civilian navigation in the sea are met because the sea border of a country cannot be marked. This work concentrates on the flexibility and utility of a GPS in the ocean. The principle motivation behind the work is to help anglers explore past the limits of different nations. In the event that an angler goes past the limits of the nation, at that point a notice emerges, showing that the anglers have crossed the outskirt. Furthermore, a GSM transmitter interface will make an impression on construct station situated with respect to the shore showing that a vessel has crossed the fringe. Hence protects in the shore can help and give extra help to those anglers if necessary. Remembering about existences of Indian anglers, this gadget has been made to help them not to move past Indian. Overall, it is an endeavor to fabricate an appropriate gadget for the anglers at a sensibly ease.

Providing security to the citizens is one of the most important and complex task for the governments around the world which they have to deal with. Street crimes and theft are the biggest threats for the citizens and their belonging. In order to provide security, there is an urgent need of a system that is capable of identifying the criminal in the crowded area. This paper proposes a facial recognition system using Local Binary Patterns Histogram Face recognizer mounted on drone technology. The facial recognition capability is a key feature for a drone to have in order to find or identify the person within the crowd. With the inception of drone technology in the proposed system, we can use it as a surveillance drone as well through which it can cover more area as compared to the stationary system. As soon as the system identifies the desired person, it tags him and transmits the image along with the co-ordinates of the location to the concerned authorities using mounted global positioning system. Proposed system is capable of identifying the person with the accuracy of approximately 89.1%.
