On February 25, our CEO Joan Casares joined the round table “From theory to practice. Experiences in entrepreneurship based on science and technology”<br />
<br />
We shared with the participants how the development of the IBPindex has intermingled with the organizational and finance-related aspects associated with the creation and growth of a start-up.<br />

At just a glance?<br />
<br />
We've just released a new feature in IBPindex that detects any slope bigger than either 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25% pinpointing them on the trail.<br />

As you can see on the screenshots, you can also download as a waypoint any slope so your GPS can automatically warn you when you approach it.<br />
<br />
This new development comes from the suggestions and requests received from event and race organizers and, also, sports practitioners that train semi-professionally to improve their marks.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We reproduce here the answer to a question of one of our users explaining how IBPfit works and how it can help you to train.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The user question:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have entered two trails I made last week, for the analysis: my physical condition was the same, but I got 'fit index' 37 for one, and 62 for the other one??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They were two different trails (one easier - index 37, the other one much more difficult - index 62), but my fitness condition was the same (I rode the trails a few days from each other)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I expected to get the same fitness index in both cases (with a reasonable tolerance), shouldn't I?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Our answer:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We’ve checked the tracks and their work correctly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> If we review the IBPfit associated to each of the tracks, we see the following:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 1.- “Campomulo…gpx” your IBPfit is 62, the system says:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i> “We have found 2250 trails with the same conditions as yours (±5%)</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>IBP = 64, </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Total Length 30.461 Km, </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Accumulated climb 780.59 m,</i></span><br />
<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With your time at 10.7 Km/h, in a race with 100 participants, you would be in the position number: 62”</i><br />

So in your case:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> • If you would consistently use these two trails as training routes, you could track the progress of your fitness condition checking out whether your IBPfit remains the same or, hopefully, decreases. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> • In the case that it decreases it will tell you that your performance is becoming better in comparison with the other bikers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Last but not least, and for your information, the IBPfit rate is only calculated with the sample of comparable trails is big enough as to make it statistically significant.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All this without needing to be logged in the web you are checking the route out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the moment you need to use a different extension for each one of the three websites. Thus, if you want to analyze activities from <a href="https://www.strava.com/?hl=en">Strava</a> you need to install the Strava IBP extension; in the case of <a href="https://connect.garmin.com/en-US/">Garmin Connect</a> activities, the Garmin IBP extension, and the same in the case of <a href="http://www.wikiloc.com/">Wikiloc</a>. You can have them all installed simultaneously.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What are we currently working on?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are developing extensions for more sport related websites and, also, an evolution of this technology that will allow including all the websites in one single extension. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also, we will seize this opportunity to give a brief overview of our error treatment processes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>A summary of the questions of our user:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>How reliable is the calculation of the distance and height difference your tracks and traces optimized?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>I would like to know the most reliable figure for the distance and the accumulated climb in the case of the attached track.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Also, when I open the link " info points list" on the right side of the table which appears there, there is an "optimized trace" with a cumulated climb of 537.43m. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>As I understand, your system detects the GPS system's recording errors and also corrects the optimized trace?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>So in summary, the result obtained is generated from the corrected trace.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>In this case, I note that reliability of the original track is D (= bad) and correction level 3.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>And the final result for the distance and cumulated climb: 14.143 km and D + 466 to 469m.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Is this the right answer?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Here is a summary of our responses:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Indeed, 14,143 km and D + 466 to 469m are the figures describing your track</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>On this screenshot, we can see that for this part of the track...</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>One can intuitively see that it is very unlikely that the track’s original data, without the corrections we will write about further in this post, is describing the real profile of the physical path traveled by hikers.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>We take the opportunity of this example and your questions to describe our error handling process briefly.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>This is a schematic description of the data processing process IBPIndex:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>1. Resolution of different problems caused by the GPS recording device in the .gpx track "original" essentially:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>• Analysis of abnormal points</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>• Jumps / Steps in the profile of heights product, for example, of stops on the route or geographical elements that blocked or prevent a proper reception of the GPS signal</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>• Optimization of the number of points recorded on the track: the more points are recorded, the bigger the accumulated mistake is introduced in the calculations.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>• Other error treatments methods...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">…and we obtain the optimized track</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>2. On the optimized track, we apply a series of other correction mechanisms. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>The main one is </i></span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">an automatic correction system working in 8 possible degree levels ranging: from level "0" no correction, no correction only optimization only, up to level "7" maximum correction.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Once the data has been again revised/corrected we assign a reliability degree to the track, according to the following scale:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"A" = Very Good</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"B" = Good</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"C" = Fair</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"D" = Bad</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"E" = Very Bad</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>And after this final set of analysis and corrections, the "Final Track" is obtained.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>This "Final Track" is the base on which IBPindex calculates the final statistics of the tracks that you see on our website: positive and negative cumulative altitude difference, percentage rise, etc.</i></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com42tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893646710845065944.post-34045486873139891602016-07-05T04:29:00.000-07:002016-07-05T04:29:07.535-07:00Differences in accumulated heights among GPS devices, IBPindex and data analysis apps<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The impact on the reliability of the tracks' statistics of the different error treatment methods is a hot topic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The following question of one our users shows the practical impact of those methods, and how IBPindex is implementing much more sophisticated techniques that are closer to the physical reality of the trail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Our user question:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>I would like to ask you about the noticeable differences in heights existing between the ones provided by the GPS device and the ones produced by your analysis. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>I’ve noticed that usually, the number accumulated climb is bigger in your analysis than one given by the GPS, and I have checked this with two different devices. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>For the attached tracks and the same route: the difference in the accumulated heights between the two devices is just 5 meters, 1266 in one case, 1271 in the other, versus 1718 and 136ibp and 1759 and 137ibp in your analysis. In the case of the length of the track, the numbers are nearly the same in your GPS and your system.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Could you explain to me why this difference in the accumulated climb, and not in the lengths or distances?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Our answer:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>We have analyzed the files you sent us and difference in the accumulated totals stems from the error treatments methods used by the GPS devices.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>The GPS related errors depend on basically: the position and number of satellites present at the horizon during the time span in which the route is recorded and the precision in the recording of the heights.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>The most usual error treatment methods consist in the application of heights meshes (see the link mentioned above) or to discard any variation in heights smaller than 5 meters (as you can see in this screenshot featuring the default options of a GPS data analysis software)</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Let’s imagine a route of a total of 50km with constant ups and downs of 4.9m all along the road.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>IBPindex uses an array of error treatment techniques much more advanced and precise than the previously mentioned truncations and substitution of the original heights, such as:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>• Detection and removal of aberrant points</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>• Detection and removal of saw tooth patterns</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>• Optimization of the number points fed into the analysis, to avoid that the addition of a big number of little errors generates a significant cumulated deviation.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>According to our experience, those and other techniques, that we have progressively incorporated into our algorithms along the analysis of more than 2.000.00 routes, make our results given by IBPindex are the ones that describe reality the closest.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We post here his question and our answer detailing how IBPindex detects the different tracks present in a file.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Our user's question:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Track: guillena-the-bulls-castilblanco-trial-guillena.gpx</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The route is not complete. The arrival displayed is not the real end. It should be the same as the starting point.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Our answer:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">IBPindex has a detection system that looks for the different tracks that can be at the same file. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In your case, there is a separation of nearly 1.5km between two of the recorded points, they are considered as belonging to two different tracks, and system analysis only the first part of the file.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The results displayed by <a href="http://www%2Cibpindex.com/">IBPindex</a> were pretty similar. Oddly, the analysis of the files generated by <a href="http://www.polar.com/en">Polar</a> was</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> rather different depending on whether the format of the file was GPX or TCX.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the analysis of the files we found that, for the same route, the device included different data in the file depending on whether the format was GPX or TCX.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We quote here the question of the user:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>To: info@ibpindex.com</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Subject: CONSULTATION</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Good evening,</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>I have a question I would like you to solve for me, if possible.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>I have a <a href="http://www.polar.com/us-en/products/sport/M400">Polar M400</a> and <a href="https://buy.garmin.com/en-CA/CA/sports-recreation/discontinued/etrex-vista-hcx/prod8703.html">Garmin Vista HCX</a>. Polar allows me to download data from the same route in formats GPX and TCX, and only GPX in the case of Garmin.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>When analyzing the files with IBPindex, I find three different results. I could understand differences between <a href="http://www.polar.com/en">Polar</a> and <a href="http://www.garmin.com/en-US">Garmin</a>, all in all, these are different devices and configuration settings can be also different.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>But, in the case of <a href="http://www.polar.com/en">Polar</a>, the same track gives very different results depending on the format you download it (either GPX or TCX).</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>What can be happening?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>I send you attached the three files.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And the conclusions of our analysis:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>The correct tracks are "2016_06_05 _-_ garmin_vista_hcx.gpx" and "2016_06_05 _-_ polar_m400.tcx". </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"2016_06_05 _-_ polar_m400.gpx" </i></span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is incorrect.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>This image shows a comparison of the data exported from <a href="http://www.polar.com/en">Polar</a> in the GPX and TCX files.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Knowing the problematic that exist with the reliability of the height data recorded in plenty of track routes, IBPindex has launched the “Detector & corrector of profile unevenness” algorithm. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> A brand new automatic tool for the analysis of the track data of which you probably are already aware if you had the chance to follow our previous communications.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The system analyses the tracks identifying the errors, counting them and evaluation the scale of the deviation. From this moment onwards the tool takes over and corrects the track according to the characteristics and number of the detected mistakes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are eight possible degrees of correction:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From “0” where there’s no correction available, only optimization</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To “7” maximum correction applicable</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With the data already corrected we classify the track reliability degree according to the following scale:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“A” = Very good</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“B” = Good </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“C” = Acceptable</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“D” = Bad</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“E” = Very bad </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can check this information in the items </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Reliability of the original trail </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Level of correction applied to the trail </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can still see and compare the data without correction following the link “See original analysis (without corrections)”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now we show some examples that will help you to understand the issue with the recorded height data, o</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">n the following pictures you can see you can see different profiles of the same route:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- One recorded with a standard / normal GPS device (profile “1”) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Another one with a Smartphone (profile “2”)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The same two profiles but substituting for each point the original height with the information of a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) (profiles “1.1” and “2.1”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- and one generated by IBPindex applying the “unevenness corrector” (profile “3”)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First, we would like to draw your attention to the saw tooth profiles present both in the Smartphone recorded track (“profile 2”) as in all profiles obtained by using a digital elevation model (DEM) (profiles “1.1” and “2.1”). Please note that the causes for those saw teeth are different for each of the profiles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Comparing the profiles 1.1 and 2.1, we also observe that the one recorded with a Smartphone still accumulates more than 100m of error. This is because the track the number of registered points is bigger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As always, we look forward to your comments to keep improving our website.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We would like to give an overview of the reasons why the data of the height is much more difficult to obtain and, thus, less precise than latitudes and longitudes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All GPS devices are designed to receive the signal of the GPS network of satellites (24 in total) continually orbiting around the Earth. Without going too much into technical details, a proper reception of the GPS signal is possible whenever there is direct vision between the GPS device and the satellites. So building, hills, forests, mountains… or any object interposed between them can affect the quality of the reception. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We need the reception of the signal from at least three satellites to calculate our position regarding latitude and longitude (2D over the surface of the Earth) and four of them to derive the height (location in 3D)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Helped by the boost in data storage capacities, GPS device manufacturers have progressively increased the number of points recorded in a track file. The more points are recorded, the bigger the accumulated error is, as a small mistake present in much more points amount to a bigger total.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From the hardware side, GPS manufacturers also have been progressively including barometric pressure sensors in their devices. This feature helps enormously to augment and stabilize the precision when measuring the height, but it also has its limitations. On this regard changes in the weather conditions during the recording of the track will affect the data in the way of the appearance of steps in the shape of the profile.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the case of smartphones, there are still very few handsets with barometric pressure sensors and also very few apps that leverage on the sensor when recording the track data.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On top of that, and in the case of the software and apps that analyze the recorded data, there are different techniques and “tricks” to marry all the factors we have already talked about and produce the analysis the reproduces in the best way possible the real track.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the apps/software packages make their own decision about the methods to use and the reasons that underpin those choices. We at IBPindex use two proprietary techniques to analyze and correct the track data.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first one detects and corrects the aberrant points and smooths out the steps on the profile.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The second one applies an intelligent filter that sets the cadence of points between 30 and 40 km.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These techniques have been developed by IBPindex and perfectioned during our 10 years of experience and by the analysis of more than 2.000.000 tracks, and we know that our results are of a better quality when the data has been recorded by a device with a barometric sensor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The trend is that more and more the devices will be equipped with software utilizing the barometric pressure sensor, but we are also working on improving the results’ analysis in the other cases.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are also developing a feature that will help the user to see and manually amend specific points of the track.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last but not least, we suggest you gain experience in using different tools to calculate the cumulated height and the results you obtain so you, gradually, can to derive your own conclusions about this magnitude and the quality of the results you are given.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hoping that this article helps you to understand how GPS devices work and its impact on the statistics provided,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Happy trails !!</span><br />
