Cell-based Automatic Deformation Computation by Analyzing Terrestrial LIDAR Point Clouds

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Bertrand Merminod, Jing Wu

This paper presents a cell-based approach for computing the deformation of a monitored object by analyzing point cloud data from terrestrial lidar. This approach can automatically generate an informative deformation description (called "deformation map") w ...

Enhancement of Geomatics Education by Using Internet Based Techniques

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Bertrand Merminod, Arnaud Deshogues

The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) has introduced the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) in 2005. Since then, the number of teachers and users has increased rapidly. With more than 350 active courses hosted on Moodle for this ...

Improving pedestrian dynamics modelling using fuzzy logic

Kamiar Aminian, Bertrand Merminod, Phillip Tomé, François Bonzon

The complementary nature of MEMS based pedestrian dead-reckoning (PDR) navigation and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) has long been recognised. The advantages are quite clear for those applications requiring indoor positioning and that, for one r ...

Optimal Data Fusion for Pedestrian Navigation based on UWB and MEMS

Bertrand Merminod

Indoor pedestrian navigation is probably a very challenging research area. In this context, an optimal data fusion filter that hybridises a large set of observations: angles of arrival (AOA), time differences of arrival (TDOA), accelerations, angular veloc ...

Map-based Autonomous Personal Localization and Tracking

Michel Bierlaire, Bertrand Merminod

An autonomous localisation and tracking method is a method independent from the reception of external data. In our approach we ignore methods like GPS- and WiFi- positioning and we focus on the use of inertial navigation system (INS) carried by the person ...

Techniques de localisation intra-muros à transmission Ultra Large Bande

Bertrand Merminod

Alors que les techniques de radiolocalisation à l'extérieur des bâtiments sont largement exploitées dans les applications commerciales, la localisation intra-muros se place au coeur de beaucoup d'activités de recherche. Une nouvelle technologie de transmission sans fil à ultra large bande suscite l'engouement. Elle permet des résolutions temporelles théoriques supérieures aux modes de transmission conventionnels. Son fort potentiel face aux exigences de localiation intra-muros est présenté au travers de résultats expérimentaux dans un milieu construit difficilement modélisable.

Existing indoor navigation solutions usually rely on pre-installed sensor networks, whereas emergency agents are interested in fully auto-deployable systems. In this paper, an almost self-deployable solution based on Radio-frequency identification tags and ...

Bayesian Approach for Indoor Pedestrian Localisation

Michel Bierlaire, Bertrand Merminod

The principal concept of navigation is to start from a known (initial) position and to ensure a continued and reliable localisation of the user during his/her movement. The initial position of the trajectory is usually obtained via GPS or defined by the us ...
