This research has been sponsored by the Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. It introduces a system and the algorithms for Pedestrian Navigation using a combination of sensors. The main objective is to localis ...
As demand increases for positioning rescue crews, military users, and individuals with special needs, miniaturized low-power inertial measurement units (IMUs) coupled with GPS receivers and other sensors can provide accurate position in both indoor and out ...
This is a presentation of the techniques used to process inertial and GPS data collected during an airborne gravimetric and altimetric survey in order to obtain absolute position and attitude estimates of the sensors mounted on board the aircraft. For high ...
This paper describes experiments that were performed involving a professional downhill skier equipped with a low-cost L1 GPS receiver and a MEMS-IMU composed of 3 single axis gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers. In addition, the skier carried an L ...
Many airborne applications, such as altimetry or photogrammetry without ground control points, strongly rely on the precise evaluation of the aircraft’s attitude. This paper presents an approach to the attitude determination problem, where a system combini ...
Many studies have shown the efficacy of orientation and three-dimensional joint angle measurement for patient evaluation or rehabilitation purposes. But currently, the use of these systems for routine practice is questionable. The commercially available de ...
Over the last few years, research had been conducted on how to develop basic mobility aid for visually impaired and blind people using vision and image processing techniques. However, our research at Geodetic Engineering Laboratory has taken a different vi ...
Efficient systems for determining the precise position and orientation of airborne sensors will have a great impact in different remote sensing activities, with consequences in their productivity and therefore substantially increasing their cost effectiven ...
Rayleigh backscattering measurements on a fiber ring resonator enables to monitor loss and gyroscopic motion experienced by the ring. This easy-to-use technique yields to very sensitive fiber loss sensors and polarization-insensitive and low-cost gyroscope ...
