Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of heading angle divergence in inertial pedestrian navigation, an algorithm based on heading error prediction and correction across the entire area is proposed. Using the stable heading characteristics within the zero-velocity interval to calculate heading errors, and combining with the short-term stability of the gyroscope to predict heading errors in non-zero-velocity interval. By using Kalman filtering to comprehensively correct navigation errors, the accuracy of pedestrian navigation is significantly improved. The experimental results show that in non closed concave paths, the average navigation trajectory error of the proposed algorithm is only 0.94 m, which is 75.33% lower than the zero speed correction algorithm and 48.91% lower than the algorithm that only processes heading errors during the zero speed phase. In the 400 m closed path test, the endpoint position error is only 2.53%, and the calculated path best matched the actual motion trajectory, verifying that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the accuracy of pedestrian navigation.

Key words: inertial pedestrian navigation, zero-velocity interval, non-zero-velocity interval, heading error prediction and correction, Kalman filtering
