Moreover, an observaions exracion algorihm has been developed o exrac observaions from sensor oupus; sample ses are used o rain and opimize he model parameers by he Baum-Welch algorihm. Finally, a navigaion sysem is developed, and he performance of he pedesrian navigaion sysem is evaluaed using indoor and oudoor field ess, and he resuls show ha posiion error is less han % of oal disance ravelled. Keywords: Pedesrian navigaion sysem, hidden Markov model, zero velociy deecion, inerial sensors. G. INRODUCION PS IS AN IMPORAN componen in he posiioning sysem and plays a key role in oudoor posiioning. However, GPS coninues o sruggle indoors due o he failure of saellie signals o penerae buildings []. Furhermore, recen developmens in he field of smar mobile erminals have led o an increased ineres in indoor posiioning and navigaion. In mos recen sudies, indoor posiioning and navigaion has been discussed in wo differen ways, one is Local Posiioning Sysem (LPS), and he oher one is Pedesrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) []. Compared wih LPS, PDR approach has a number of aracive feaures: auonomy, cos-effeciveness, no insalling markers or insrumenaion in advance []. Specifically, PDR is divided ino sride and heading sysem (SHS) and inerial navigaion sysem (INS) []. Pedesrian inerial navigaion sysem which is based on MEMS inerial sensors has gradually become an indoor navigaion soluion due o is independence, porabiliy, and low cos, and can be used in D navigaion environmen. Pedesrian inerial navigaion sysem widely adops a sysem framework ha is characerized by exended Kalman filering and srapping of MEMS inerial sensors on inseps, which is proposed by Foxlin []. he main problem of he sysem is error accumulaion caused by inerial sensor drif error [], [], []. A considerable amoun of lieraure has been published on his problem. Researchers found ha wo fee ouch he ground alernaely and say for a shor ime for approximaely. s- s in a normal walking cycle. he shor inerval is called he zero velociy inervals []. As he real velociy of foo in zero velociy inervals is zero, if a zero velociy sae is deeced, he velociy error can be eliminaed. his algorihm is called zero velociy updaes algorihm. herefore, zero velociy deecion is an exremely imporan par of he pedesrian navigaion sysem. I provides he required informaion o rese he velociy error. Zero velociy deecion algorihms can be divided ino wo kinds. One opion is based on he hypohesis ha he measured acceleraion is consan and equal o graviy and he measured angular velociy is zero in zero velociy inervals. A range of zero velociy deecion algorihms have been proposed based on inerial sensor oupus, where he main difference is he disposal mehod of sensor oupus and he compound modes of inerial sensors. In reference [], he zero velociy inervals are deermined based on inerial sensors (acceleromeers and gyroscopes) oupu norms. If he oupus are smaller han some hresholds for a predeermined ime, hen he zero velociy is decided. In reference [9], he zero velociy is deermined based on Z-axis acceleromeer and Y-axis gyroscope oupus. In reference [], he zero velociy is deermined based on gyroscope oupu norms. In reference [], [], he zero velociy inervals are deermined based on he variance of acceleromeer values. In reference [], he zero velociy is deermined based on norms of acceleromeers and gyroscopes along wih variance of acceleraions. In reference [], he zero-velociy deecion problem is absraced as a hypohesis-esing problem. However, he proposed algorihms need corresponding hreshold values, if he chosen hreshold values are oo small or large, he real zero velociy inervals will be missed and he wrong inerval will be deeced. he oher opion is using he walking characerisics o deec he zero velociy inervals. ypically, he walking moion is modeled as a repeaing sequence of push off, swing, heel srike and sance. If each sae is deeced accuraely, hen zero velociy inervals can be deermined reliably. Compared wih he former algorihm which needs corresponding hreshold values, he laer algorihm has a hreefold advanage. o begin wih, he laer algorihm is more reliable, because he hreshold is consan, i may be suiable in some cases, bu may be oo small or large in some oher cases. Secondly, he laer algorihm is based on he walking characerisics, no only he zero velociy inervals, bu also he oher sage can be deermined, and he oher sage is useful o verify he zero velociy inervals and inspire poenial applicaions. Finally, he laer algorihm is a new research field which relaes o paern recogniion, ec., herefore, he pedesrian navigaion sysem will be exended wih laer algorihm. Download Dae // : PM

2 MEASUREMEN SCIENCE REVIEW, Volume., No., he aim of his paper is o design a pedesrian inerial navigaion sysem using MEMS inerial sensors which is based on he hidden Markov model. Specifically, he zero velociy deecion problems are absraced as a hidden Markov model. he observaions exracion algorihm is developed o exrac observaions from sensor oupus, in addiion, a sample se and Baum-Welch algorihm are used o rain and opimize he model. Finally, he performance of he HMM-based pedesrian navigaion sysem is evaluaed using indoor and oudoor field ess, and he resuls show ha he proposed algorihm is reliable. he mos relevan resul is reference [], where a zero velociy deecion algorihm using a hidden Markov model is also used. he main difference is hreefold. One is ha saisical mehod is used in his paper o generae he iniial observaion probabiliies while hreshold values are used in reference []. he second difference is ha a new observaions exracion algorihm is developed. he daa volume is only % of sensor oupus. he hird difference is ha he Baum-Welch algorihm is used in his paper o rain and validae he hidden Markov model. he paper has been organized in he following way. Secion explores characerisics of pedesrians hrough experimens. Secion absracs he zero velociy deecion ino a hidden Markov model problem. Secion describes he pedesrian navigaion sysem framework. Secion evaluaes he performance of he HMM-based pedesrian navigaion sysem using indoor and oudoor field ess.. CHARACERISICS OF PEDESRIANS WALKING MOION Compared wih radiional carriers of inerial sysem, such as aircrafs, ships and guided missiles, pedesrians are characerized by low speed, lile mass, small inerial and periodic moion []. For he pedesrian walking moion, he movemen depends on wo fee. o be exac, wo fee swing forward alernaely, and he cener of graviy of a pedesrian is moving horizonally wih he rise and fall of a small scale. wo phases exis, one phase where he foo is firmly planed on he ground is called sance phase, and he foo is called supporive foo, providing a pivo poin over which o vaul. he oher phase where a foo lifs from behind he pedesrian and swings o ener is sance phase is called swing phase, and he foo is called swing foo which breaks he fall. herefore, he pedesrian walking moion can be characerized by alernae vauling of he body over a siffened leg, wih he fall being broken by he opposing leg []. In order o explore he moion characerisics of a pedesrian, inerial sensors are aached o he inseps o record inerial measuremens a samples per second. he Inerial Measuremen Uni used in his work is he Xsens Mx sensor (model AG) (Xsens), as shown in Fig.., which is he sandard model wih he acceleromeers wih a full scale of ± m/s and he gyroscopes wih a full scale of ± º/s. I has a size of mm, and a weigh of grams. herefore, i is small enough o be mouned on he insep of a pedesrian. he inerial sensors oupus are colleced by a lapop which is conneced o he experimener hrough serial por. he change rules of acceleraion and angular velociy of he walking moion are shown in Fig..

Each sae has a probabiliy disribuion over he possible oupu. For pedesrian walking moion zero velociy deecion, wo random processes exis. One is measured acceleraion and angular velociy wih inerial sensors, which is a visible process. he oher is ransfer process of four saes of walking moion, which is no visible. Hidden Markov model is a probabiliy model used o represen he saisic propery of he sochasic process and is characerized by model parameers. In order o define an HMM compleely, following elemens are needed []: () N, he number of saes of he model; () M, he number of mixures in each sae; () A= { a ij }, he sae ransiion probabiliy marix { } aij = P q+ = j q = i i, j N () Where q is he sae a ime and a ij is he ransiion probabiliy from sae i o saej; { j } =, he oupu probabiliy disribuion () B b ( O ) where bj( O ) is a finie mixure of Gaussian disribuions associaed wih saejof he form: M ( ) = ( µ,, ) b O c G O () j m= Where O is he -h observaion vecor, c is weighing coefficien for he m-h mixure in saej, and G is he Gaussian disribuion wih mean vecor µ and covariance marix for he m-h mixure componen in saej.
