Indoor Positioning Using Inertial Measurement Units
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the increase in the number of smart phone users worldwide there comes a high demand for smart phone based location systems. Within the project “Indoor positioning using inertial measurement units” an android application has been developed wherein the position of the smart phone user with respect to the floor environment is determined. This has been achieved using the smart phone sensors step detector and rotation vector which act as inbuilt inertial measurement unit (IMU) in smart phones. The algorithm used is “Pedestrian Dead Reckoning “(PDR).

Map-based Indoor People Localization using an Inertial Measurement Unit
In this paper, we propose a new approach to map-based indoor localization for walking people using an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Generally, an office building includes various components such as corridors, rooms, floors, staircases, elevators. We consider the components for personal positioning. We present two mapping methods that are a map representation method and a position compensatio...
متن کاملA UWB/Improved PDR Integration Algorithm Applied to Dynamic Indoor Positioning for Pedestrians
Inertial sensors are widely used in various applications, such as human motion monitoring and pedestrian positioning. However, inertial sensors cannot accurately define the process of human movement, a limitation that causes data drift in the process of human body positioning, thus seriously affecting positioning accuracy and stability. The traditional pedestrian dead-reckoning algorithm, which...

Position information of pedestrian is nowadays very important in many applications. Global Navigation Satellite System is not suitable for indoor navigation because of signal strength attenuation and multipath effects. The positioning techniques based on wireless radio signal, such as Wireless Local Area Network, require additional infrastructure that cannot be used freely. We propose a novel p...

In this paper, the authors describe the integration of an INS and the Locata system, that uses Locata’s position, velocity and attitude solutions to calibrate INS observations in order to achieve an accurate, robust and continuous indoor navigation solution. The multi-sensor experiment conducted at Locata’s Numerella Test Facility is described in the paper. The measurement data were collected a...
متن کاملCrowd-sourced reconstruction of building interiors
Location-based services (LBS) have gained huge commercial and scientific interest in recent years, due to the ubiquitous and free availability of maps, global positioning systems, and smartphones. To date, maps and positioning solutions are mostly only available for outdoor use. However, humans spend most of their time indoors, rendering indoor LBS interesting for applications such as location-...
