Abstract

A reliable and robust zero velocity points (ZVPs) detection approach is important to restrain the accumulative error in the pedestrian inertial navigation systems. A novel recursive zero-velocity detection (RZVD) approach for smartphone based pedestrian dead reckoning systems is proposed in this paper. It combined the adaptive threshold and context information of the vertical velocity to verify the correctness of ZVP detection and fixed the incorrect ZVPs recursively. The test results show that the performance of the proposed approach is better than original method. It indicates that the proposed approach is helpful to eliminate the serious estimation error caused by false detection of ZVPs.
