TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Enhancing indoor inertial pedestrian navigation using a shoe-worn marker JO - Sensors (Basel) A1 - Placer, Mitja A1 - Kovačič, Stanislav SP - 9836 EP - 9859 VL - 13 IS - 8 N2 - We propose a novel hybrid inertial sensors-based indoor pedestrian dead reckoning system, aided by computer vision-derived position measurements. In contrast to prior vision-based or vision-aided solutions, where environmental markers were used-either deployed in known positions or extracted directly from it-we use a shoe-fixed marker, which serves as positional reference to an opposite shoe-mounted camera during foot swing, making our system self-contained. Position measurements can be therefore more reliably fed to a complementary unscented Kalman filter, enhancing the accuracy of the estimated travelled path for 78%, compared to using solely zero velocities as pseudo-measurements.
