Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) has the good potential to confront the challenges in environments lacking a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). However, PDR has inherent errors that accumulated step by step. An image-based localization can as an aiding system, because virtually all mobile devices contain a basic camera sensor. However, the image-based localization requires successive and overlapped images for continuously positioning. In addition, the solutions provided by either image-based localization or a PDR are usually in a relative coordinate system. Therefore, this study proposes a system, which uses space resection-aided PDR with georeferenced images of a previously mapped environment. In order to implement the procedure automatically and reduce the image processing, this study further uses markers in the georeferenced images. After that, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is novel applied to estimate the distance between the marker and camera. Since the marker is also georeferenced, the camera position is updated through the detected georeferenced marker, estimated distance, and orientation from inertial sensor, and then update the PDR result. The indoor mobile mapping system (IMMS) is used for the effective production of georeferenced images. The result shows the proposed system is able to initialize in indoor without manually given initial position and provides long-term accurate navigation.","PeriodicalId":367462,"journal":{"name":"2018 Ubiquitous Positioning, Indoor Navigation and Location-Based Services (UPINLBS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114976904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inertial/magnetic sensors based on MEMS technology are typically composed of three orthogonal gyroscopes, three orthogonal accelerometers and three orthogonal magnetometers, which can form AHRS (attitude heading reference system) and pedestrian dead reckoning system. However, the inertial/magnetic sensors can offer good short term positioning in indoor environments, but the absolute position fixes of medium- to long- term have always been the research hotspot and difficulty. Therefore, a hierarchical calibration architecture based on inertial/magnetic sensors is proposed creatively, including the data layer–a axial-based temperature variation model is proposed to calibrate the raw data from MEMS sensors by the analysis and modeling of sensor error characteristics; the signal layer–a triple zero velocity update method is proposed to update integral initial value according to the pedestrians’ gait characteristic; the information layer–an intelligent information fusion method is proposed based on machine learning to calibrate the orientation and positioning. Besides, a 3-D indoor positioning platform is set up based on MPU9250, and the effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical calibration architecture is verified based on the platform.","PeriodicalId":367462,"journal":{"name":"2018 Ubiquitous Positioning, Indoor Navigation and Location-Based Services (UPINLBS)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125623008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measuring these parameters, e.g. using inertial sensors, introduces small errors that accumulate quickly into large distance errors. Knowledge of a buildings geography may reduce these errors as it can be used to keep the estimated position from moving through walls and onto likely paths. In this paper, we use building maps to improve localization based on a single foot-mounted inertial sensor. We show how correction algorithms using likely and unlikely paths can rectify errors intrinsic to pedestrian dead reckoning tasks and discuss restrictions and disadvantages of these algorithms. Our quantitative results show an endpoint accuracy improvement of up to 60% when using likely paths and 23% when using unlikely paths. However, both approaches can also decrease accuracy in certain scenarios. We identify those scenarios and offer further ideas for improving Pedestrian Dead Reckoning methods.","PeriodicalId":367462,"journal":{"name":"2018 Ubiquitous Positioning, Indoor Navigation and Location-Based Services (UPINLBS)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127601706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in some low-texture indoor scenarios, such as office and corridor, less reliable point features may be found, which could jeopardize the SLAM solution. In addition, scene changes among sequential images are not only caused by the position changes of image acquisition, but also by pedestrians and other moving objects in an indoor dynamic environment. Thus, feature identification for moving objects is needed as an important part for practical application of indoor SLAM. This paper proposes a point-line feature based SLAM method that combines both of points and line segments to enhance the performance of feature extraction in indoor scene, which can extract many line features from walls, furniture and other artificial objects. In this method, added line features help to gain more robust and accurate results. Additionally, a real-time object detection algorithm is introduced to identify the features extracted from pedestrians, so that to eliminate the negative effects caused by moving objects. The experimental results demonstrates that the proposed method can obtain more robust and accurate localization results in dynamic indoor scene.","PeriodicalId":367462,"journal":{"name":"2018 Ubiquitous Positioning, Indoor Navigation and Location-Based Services (UPINLBS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133298752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to improve the performance of positioning systems in indoor dense cluttered environments, an improved fingerprinting algorithm which fuses Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and Time of Arrival (TOA) (named FP-RT) is proposed to mitigate the fluctuation of RSSI measurements caused by indoor multi-path fading and building obstacles. Meanwhile, a novel indoor positioning system integrating FP-RT, Pedestrian Dead Reckon (PDR) and map information based on second-order cascaded Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Particle Filter (PF) (FPM-EP) is proposed to decrease fluctuation of fingerprinting and accumulated error pf PDR. In FPM-EP system, the estimated results of FP-RT are used to decrease the cumulative drifts of Pedestrian Dead Reckon (PDR) based on Extended Kalman Filter (EKF).
