In this paper, we propose pedestrian dead-reckoning (PDR) system using shoe and calf mounting inertial measurement units (IMUs) to consider heel strike impact. Generally, PDR system with shoe mounted inertial sensors often uses zero velocity update (ZUPT) for reducing the influence of the bias and white noises in the gyroscope and accelerometer signals. However, heel strike impact causes a large a...Show More
Nowadays, personal positioning systems are more necessary to build many location-based services. Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR), which is a pedestrian positioning technique using the accelerometer sensor to recognize pattern of steps, is an alternative method that has advantages in terms of infrastructure-independent. However, the variation of walking pattern on each individual will make some dif...Show More
We present a method of estimating the location and orientation of a pedestrian which simultaneously recognizing his/her actions with a single low-cost inertial measurement unit (IMU) mounted at the waist of the user. Some of the actions other than walking locomotion, such as standing up from/sitting down on a chair, and bending over to slip through obstacles, taken by the pedestrians can be mostly...Show More
In this paper we propose a method of indoor navigation using a MEMS-based strapdown inertial navigation system (INS) aided by Wi-Fi signal strength measurements. This system does not rely on any special hardware, a modern smartphone with built-in MEMS sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) is sufficient for navigation. The developed INS navigation algorithm is built on the basis of the Kalman Fil...Show More
The extended Kalman filter (EKF) has been used in resea-rch works on attitude estimation of the inertial measurement unit (IMU) and pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR).

In recent years pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) has been a popular indoor localization technique that takes advantage of inertial navigation sensors (INS) of smartphones due to its availability. Despite the convenience of INS, noise has been a recurring problem in PDR which encourages many researches on noise filtering.

We propose a multimode pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) system using a recurrent neural network. We adopt a long short-term memory (LSTM) layer to extract latent features from the sensor data. We then transform the extracted latent vector using conditional input of the pedestrian's mode to make the model operate in different contexts. Finally, the step length and heading angle are obtained through ...Show More
In this article, we explore the impact of outfits on AI-based Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) with a pocket-worn inertial sensor. This PDR mode faces significant variability due to the countless choices of outfits available. We observe significant variations in the inertial signals captured by a pocket-worn device, which are highly influenced by the outfit being worn. To address this, we propose a...Show More

The m...Show More
The dependence on Global Positioning System (GPS) in outdoor localization is increasing day by day.

Navigation systems are the first things to have for all types of unmanned vehicles whether it is land, water, or air vehicles. Navigation systems are divided into independent and leader-follower. Today, Global Positioning System (GPS) plays an important role for vehicle positioning. Nevertheless, GPS has a weakness that the signals will be distorted when the GPS receivers are placed in indoor envi...Show More
In pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) systems, accurate estimation of the walking direction is of paramount importance for achieving high localization accuracy. Despite numerous research endeavors in this area, a remaining challenge lies in cases where the direction indicated by the sensors does not align with the actual pedestrian's walking direction. In this paper, we address this misalignment prob...Show More

However, in many emer gency / rescue scenarios, there may be only limited building plan information on hand. The purpose ...Show More
As satellite signals, e.g. GPS, are severely degraded indoors or not available at all, other methods are needed for indoor positioning. In this paper, we propose methods for combining information from inertial sensors, indoor map, and WLAN signals for pedestrian indoor navigation. We present results of field tests where complementary extended Kalman filter was used to fuse together WLAN signal str...Show More
