Stance-Phase Detection for ZUPT-Aided Foot-Mounted Pedestrian Navigation System

Abstract

Zero velocity updates (ZUPT) is an effective way for the foot-mounted inertial pedestrian navigation systems (IPNS). For the ZUPT technique to work properly, it is necessary to correctly detect the stance phase of each gait cycle. An adaptive stance phase detection method is proposed based solely on an inertial sensor, which deals with the measurement fluctuations in swing and stance phases differently, and applies a clustering algorithm to partition the potential gait phases into true and false clusters, thereby yielding a time threshold to eliminate the false gait phases. The roles of the detection parameters and the relationship between them are analyzed to offer some suggestions for parameter tuning. Detection performance is evaluated with multisubject experimental data collected at varying walking speeds. The evaluation results show that the proposed detection method performs well in the presence of measurement fluctuations, which can make the detection of stance phases more robust and the choice of detection parameters more flexible.Index Terms-Inertial measurement unit (IMU), zero velocity updates (ZUPT), inertial navigation system (INS), pedestrian navigation system (PNS), stance phase detection.1083-4435 (c)

Effective Inertial Hand Gesture Recognition Using Particle Filtering Based Trajectory Matching

“…In real applications, the velocity and position estimation may diverge due to the bias of the accelerometer. In this way, the zero-velocity update (ZUPT) is introduced to overcome such disadvantages [33]. That is to say, when the acceleration is measured to be less than a settled threshold (usually the absolute value of the accelerometer's bias), the acceleration would not be integrated, so as to the position.…”

Dual MIMU Pedestrian Navigation by Inequality Constraint Kalman Filtering

“…The velocity error of carrier is used as a concept [19][20]. When pedestrians stay static, the MIMU measured velocity is regarded as error to correct the system using Kalman filtering.…”

“…Micro-IMU was mounted on a shoe for detecting human movement. In the experiment Zhelong Wang et al [5], research a focus in stance-phase detection for reducing error position estimate for pedestrian navigation system. ZUPT used to reduce error in velocity estimation Next, Slawomir et al [6]using kalman filter to achieve proper estimates of attitude and position signals that could be further used in unmanned aerial vehicle autopilots.…”

“…Small noise on the sensor Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) will cause the position estimate error increases with time. Fortunately, a foot-mounted INS aided by the zero velocity update (ZUPT) technique can bound the navigation errors [5]. In the experiment, the movement detection method Zero velocity update (ZUPT) be modified by combining Magnitude Acceleration (MA) and Angular Rates (AR) estimate.…”
