Abstract

Vision-aided inertial navigation has become a more popular method for indoor positioning recently. This popularity is basically due to the development of light-weighted and low-cost Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) as well as advancement and availability of CCD cameras in public indoor area. While the use of inertial sensors and cameras are limited to the challenge of drift accumulation and object detection in line of sight, respectively, the integration of these two sensors can compensate their drawbacks and provide more accurate positioning solutions. This study builds up upon earlier research on “Vision-Aided Indoor Pedestrian Tracking System”, to address challenges of indoor positioning by providing more accurate and seamless solutions. The study improves the overall design and implementation of inertial sensor fusion for indoor applications. In this regard, genuine indoor maps and geographical information, i.e. digitized floor plans, are used for visual tracking application the pilot study. Both of inertial positioning and visual tracking components can work stand-alone with additional location information from the maps. In addition, while the visual tracking component can help to calibrate pedestrian dead reckoning and provides better accuracy, inertial sensing module can alternatively be used for positioning and tracking when the user cannot be detected by the camera until being detected in video again. The mean accuracy of this positioning system is 10.98% higher than uncalibrated inertial positioning during experiment.
