This paper provides an overview of the most significant existing methods for indoor
positioning on a contemporary smartphone. The approaches include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth …

This paper addresses reliable and accurate indoor localization using inertial sensors
commonly found on commodity smartphones. We believe indoor positioning is an important …

Generic indoor personal positioning with an accuracy better than 10m error is still a
challenging research issue. It is well known that the key to solving this problem is the …

In this paper, we combine inertial sensing and sensor network technology to create a
pedestrian dead reckoning system. The core of the system is a lightweight sensor-and …

In this paper we present a micro-electrical mechanical system (MEMS) based pedestrian
navigation system (PNS) for seamless positioning. The sub-algorithms for the PNS are …

This paper evaluates the performance of a shoe/foot mounted inertial system for pedestrian
navigation application. Two different grades of inertial sensors are used, namely a medium …

This tutorial provides an introduction to navigation using inertial sensors, explaining the
underlying principles. Topics covered include accelerometer and gyroscope technology and …

Since most persons in emergency service wear some sort of headgear, we investigate how
basic navigation sensors could be incorporated into a safety helmet and thereby be made …

This paper presents a sensor-based pedestrian tracking technology that does not rely on
any infrastructure. The information about human walking is monitored by a sensor module …

It might be assumed that dead reckoning approaches to pedestrian navigation could
address the needs of first responders, including fire fighters. However, conventional PDR …
