Pedestrian Inertial Navigation with Self-Contained Aiding

This book is dedicated to the topic of self-contained aiding techniques in pedestrian inertial navigation. It begins with an introduction that presents the general concept of navigation including major navigation and aiding techniques. Chapter 2 describes inertial navigation implementation, where Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are utilized for navigation purposes. Chapter 3 presents an error analysis in the strapdown inertial navigation. Chapter 4 discusses the zero-velocity update (ZUPT) aided inertial navigation algorithm. Chapter 5 presents ranging techniques for navigation compensation. This includes both foot-to-foot ranging and inter-agent ranging. The book concludes with a technological perspective on self-contained pedestrian inertial navigation with an outlook for development of the Ultimate Navigation Chip (uNavChip) technology.
