As evidenced by many biological systems, the fusion of optical and inertial sensors represents an attractive method for passive navigation. In our previous work, a rigorous theory for optical and inertial fusion was developed for precision navigation applications. The theory was based on a statistical transformation of the feature space based on inertial sensor measurements. The transformation ...

The is in practice specific applications. purpose INS to determine parameters instrument errors inertial sensors: accelerometers gyros (angular rate sensors) provide compensati...

Currently the Web is a platform for performing complex tasks which involve dealing with different Web applications. However users still have to face these tasks in a handcrafted way. In this paper we present a novel approach that combines concern-sensitive adaptation and navigation history to improve the user experience while performing a task. We have developed some simple though powerful tool...

Accurate energy expenditure monitoring will be an essential part of medical diagnosis in the future, enabling individually-tailored just-in-time interventions. However, there are currently no real-time monitors that are practical for continuous daily use. In this paper, we introduce the K-Sense energy expenditure monitor that uses inertial measurement units (IMUs) mounted to an individual’s wri...

This paper aims to analyze human navigation behavior and identify similarities of cognitive styles using measures obtained from psychometric tests. Specific navigation metrics are utilized to find identifiable groups of users that have similar navigation patterns in relation to their cognitive style. The proposed work has been evaluated with a user study that entails a psychometricbased survey ...

Several military and commercial platforms are currently installing GPS and inertial navigation sensors concurrently with the introduction of high quality visual capabilities and digital mapping/imagery databases. This enables autonomous georegistration of sensor imagery using GPS/inertial position and attitude data. This georegistration capability enables data from digital mapping products to b...

Nowadays, GPS (global positioning system) receivers are aided by INS (inertial navigation systems) to achieve more precision and stability in land-vehicular navigation. KF (Kalman filter) is a conventional method which is used for the navigation system to estimate the navigational parameters, when INS measurements are fused with GPS data. However, new generation of INS, which relies on MEMS (mi...
