Indoor localization is a key topic for mobile computing. However, it is still very difficult for the mobile sensing community to compare state-of-art Indoor Positioning Systems due to the scarcity of publicly available databases. Magnetic field-based methods are becoming an important trend in this research field. Here, we present UJIIndoorLoc-Mag database, which can be used to compare magnetic field-based indoor localization methods. It consists of 270 continuous samples for training and 11 for testing. Each sample comprises a set of discrete captures taken along a corridor with a period of 0.1 seconds. In total, there are 40,159 discrete captures, where each one contains features obtained from the magnetometer, the accelerometer and the orientation sensor of the device. The accuracy results obtained using two baseline methods are also presented to show the suitability of the presented database for further comparisons.
