Popis: Accurate positioning becomes extremely important for modern application like indoor navigation and location-based services. Standalone GPS cannot meet this accuracy. In this paper a method to couple GPS and a high resolution MEMS pressure sensor is presented to improve vertical as well as horizontal (in urban canyon environment) positioning. Further, a step counter based on an accelerometer is improved with an altimeter for stair detection and automatic step length adaptation for dead reckoning inside buildings. Finally, a stand-alone system accurately tracks floor levels inside buildings, using only a pressure sensor.
