Magnetometer-enhanced personal locator for tunnels and GPS-denied outdoor environments
This paper describes recent advances with our earlier developed Personal Dead-reckoning (PDR) system for GPS-denied environments. The PDR system uses a foot-mounted Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that also houses a three axismagnetometer. In earlier work we developed methods for correcting the drift errors in the accelerometers, thereby allowing very accurate measurements of distance traveled....
متن کاملIndoor Pedestrian Navigation Using Foot-Mounted IMU and Portable Ultrasound Range Sensors
Many solutions have been proposed for indoor pedestrian navigation. Some rely on pre-installed sensor networks, which offer good accuracy but are limited to areas that have been prepared for that purpose, thus requiring an expensive and possibly time-consuming process. Such methods are therefore inappropriate for navigation in emergency situations since the power supply may be disturbed. Other ...
متن کاملHeading Estimation with Real-time Compensation Based on Kalman Filter Algorithm for an Indoor Positioning System
Abstract: The problem of heading drift error using only low cost Micro-Electro-Mechanical (MEMS) Inertial-Measurement-Unit (IMU) has not been well solved. In this paper, a heading estimation method with real-time compensation based on Kalman filter has been proposed, abbreviated as KHD. For the KHD method, a unified heading error model is established for various predictable errors in magnetic c...
متن کاملDrift Reduction in Pedestrian Navigation System by Exploiting Motion Constraints and Magnetic Field
Pedestrian navigation systems (PNS) using foot-mounted MEMS inertial sensors use zero-velocity updates (ZUPTs) to reduce drift in navigation solutions and estimate inertial sensor errors. However, it is well known that ZUPTs cannot reduce all errors, especially as heading error is not observable. Hence, the position estimates tend to drift and even cyclic ZUPTs are applied in updated steps of t...
متن کاملAccuracy Assessment of a High Sensitivity GPS Based Pedestrian Navigation System Aided by Low-Cost Sensors
Key words: pedestrian navigation, high sensitivity GPS Using long total dwell times, acquisition and weak GPS signal tracking in degraded signal environments are possible. A technology utilizing such long integration methods is called High Sensitivity GPS (HSGPS). A previous hardware in-the-loop GPS signal simulator test has demonstrated that, for a stand-alone HSGPS implementation provided by ...
