Indoor Navigation Algorithm Based on a Smartphone Inertial Measurement Unit and Map Matching
Abstract
We propose an indoor navigation algorithm based on pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) using an inertial measurement unit in a smartphone and map matching. The proposed indoor navigation system is user-friendly and convenient because it requires no additional device except a smartphone and works with a pedestrian in a casual posture who is walking with a smartphone in their hand. Because the performance of the PDR decreases over time, we greatly reduced the position error of the trajectory estimated by PDR using a map matching method with a known indoor map. To verify the proposed indoor navigation algorithm, we conducted an experiment in a real indoor environment using a commercial Android smartphone. The performance of our algorithm was demonstrated through the results of the experiment.
