Pedestrian Dead Reckoning

In smartphone indoor positioning, owing to the strong complementarity between pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) and WiFi, a hybrid fusion scheme of them is drawing more and more attention. However, the outlier of WiFi will easily degrade the performance of the scheme, to remove them, many researches have been proposed such as: improving the WiFi individually or enhancing the scheme. Nevertheless, due to the inherent received signal strength (RSS) variation, there still exist some unremoved outliers. To solve this problem, this paper proposes the first outlier detection and removal strategy with the aid of Machine Learning (ML), so called WiFi-AGNES (Agglomerative Nesting), based on the extracted positioning characteristics of WiFi when the pedestrian is static. Then, the paper proposes the second outlier detection and removal strategy, so called WiFi-Chain, based on the extracted positioning characteristics of WiFi, PDR, and their complementary characteristics when the pedestrian is walking. Finally, a hybrid fusion scheme is proposed, which integrates the two proposed strategies, WiFi, PDR with an inertial-navigation-system-based (INS-based) attitude heading reference system (AHRS) via Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), and an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). The experiment results show that the two proposed strategies are effective and robust. With WiFi-AGNES, the minimum percentage of the maximum error (MaxE) is reduced by 66.5%; with WiFi-Chain, the MaxE of WiFi is less than 4.3 m; further the proposed scheme achieves the best performance, where the root mean square error (RMSE) is 1.43 m. Moreover, since characteristics are universal, the proposed scheme integrated the two characteristic-based strategies also possesses strong robustness.

In this paper, the full strap-down seeker of rotating bomb is taken as the research object, and the method of extracting the LOS (line-of-sight) angle and angular rate of the full strap-down seeker of the rotating bomb is studied. The structure of the full strap-down seeker is quite different from that of the conventional rate gyro seeker. The measurement system of full strap-down seeker is fixed to the missile, the seeker can only obtain the measurement information in the projectile coordinate system, and the measurement information is coupled with the body posture information, so it cannot be directly used for the control guidance of the rotating projectile. First, based on the conversion relationship between coordinate systems, the mathematical model of the inertial LOS angle of the rotating bomb is established, and the mathematical model of the extraction of the inertial LOS angle and angular rate of the rotating bomb is further established. Then, the Kalman filter is designed by using the unscented Kalman filter method (UKF), and the extracted LOS angle containing noise information is filtered. Finally, the mathematical simulation is carried out to verify the validity of the mathematical model of LOS angle and angular rate extraction. Compared with the Extended Kalman filter method (EKF), the UKF has a higher accuracy for estimating the navigation information of the full strap-down rotating projectile.

Pedestrian Dead Reckoning

Indoor localization based on pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) is drawing more and more attention of researchers in location-based services (LBS). The demand for indoor localization has grown rapidly using a smartphone. This paper proposes a 3D indoor positioning method based on the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors of the smartphone. A quaternion-based robust adaptive cubature Kalman filter (RACKF) algorithm is proposed to estimate the heading of pedestrians based on magnetic, angular rate, and gravity (MARG) sensors. Then, the pedestrian behavior patterns are distinguished by detecting the changes of pitch angle, total accelerometer and barometer values of the smartphone in the duration of effective step frequency. According to the geometric information of the building stairs, the step length of pedestrians and the height difference of each step can be obtained when pedestrians go up and downstairs. Combined with the differential barometric altimetry method, the optimal height can be computed by the robust adaptive Kalman filter (RAKF) algorithm. Moreover, the heading and step length of each step are optimized by the Kalman filter to reduce positioning error. In addition, based on the indoor map vector information, this paper proposes a heading calculation strategy of the 16-wind rose map to improve the pedestrian positioning accuracy and reduce the accumulation error. Pedestrian plane coordinates can be solved based on the Pedestrian Dead-Reckoning (PDR). Finally, combining pedestrian plane coordinates and height, the three-dimensional positioning coordinates of indoor pedestrians are obtained. The proposed algorithm is verified by actual measurement examples. The experimental verification was carried out in a multi-story indoor environment. The results show that the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of location errors is 1.04–1.65 m by using the proposed algorithm for three participants. Furthermore, the RMSE of height estimation errors is 0.17–0.27 m for three participants, which meets the demand of personal intelligent user terminal for location service. Moreover, the height parameter enables users to perceive the floor information.

Pedestrian Dead Reckoning

With the popularity of smartphones and the development of microelectromechanical system (MEMS), the pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) algorithm based on the built-in sensors of a smartphone has attracted much research. Heading estimation is the key to obtaining reliable position information. Hence, an adaptive Kalman filter (AKF) based on an autoregressive model (AR) is proposed to improve the accuracy of heading for pedestrian dead reckoning in a complex indoor environment. Our approach uses an autoregressive model to build a Kalman filter (KF), and the heading is calculated by the gyroscope, obtained by the magnetometer, and stored by previous estimates, then are fused to determine the measurement heading. An AKF based on the innovation sequence is used to adaptively adjust the state variance matrix to enhance the accuracy of the heading estimation. In order to suppress the drift of the gyroscope, the heading calculated by the AKF is used to correct the heading calculated by the outputs of the gyroscope if a quasi-static magnetic field is detected. Data were collected using two smartphones. These experiments showed that the average error of two-dimensional (2D) position estimation obtained by the proposed algorithm is reduced by 40.00% and 66.39%, and the root mean square (RMS) is improved by 43.87% and 66.79%, respectively, for these two smartphones.

Dominant Direction

As pedestrian dead-reckoning (PDR), based on foot-mounted inertial sensors, suffers from accumulated error in velocity and heading, an improved heuristic drift elimination (iHDE) with a zero-velocity update (ZUPT) algorithm was proposed for simultaneously reducing the error in heading and velocity in complex paths, i.e., with pathways oriented at 45°, curved corridors, and wide areas. However, the iHDE algorithm does not consider the changes in pedestrian movement modes, and it can deteriorate when a pedestrian walks along a straight path without a pre-defined dominant direction. To solve these two problems, we propose enhanced heuristic drift elimination (eHDE) with an adaptive zero-velocity update (AZUPT) algorithm and novel heading correction algorithm. The relationships between the magnitude peaks of the y-axis angular rate and the detection thresholds were established only using the readings of the three-axis accelerometer and the three-axis gyroscopic, and a mechanism for constructing temporary dominant directions in real time was introduced. Real experiments were performed and the results showed that the proposed algorithm can improve the still-phase detection accuracy of a pedestrian at different movement motions and outperforms the iHDE algorithm in complex paths with many straight features.

<p class="0abstract">This paper introduces a new approach named ‘Find My Parked Car’ to provide the user with the return way for his parked car location in the indoor garage of a multi-storey building where GPS is denied using the acquisition data obtained from the inertial sensors on smart devices such as smartphones. We build up a system that employs Pedestrian Dead-Reckoning Technique (PDR) to track the user inside the building. This approach harness the environment landmarks for floors separation and the PDR paths’ landmarks to enhance them by applying the Kalman Filter. Then we prunes the paths to remove the redundant parts of paths. Finally, we display the paths that guide the user back to his car via an android application. The feature of our approach is to help users returning back to parked car location based only on the available ubiquitous sensors in the new smartphones without any need to have any map or any additional infrastructure support.</p>
