ABSTRACT

The zero velocity update (ZUPT) algorithm is an effective way to suppress the error growth for a foot-mounted pedestrian navigation system. To make ZUPT work properly, it is necessary to detect zero velocity intervals correctly. Existing zero velocity detection methods cannot provide good performance at high gait speeds or stair climbing. An adaptive zero velocity detection approach based on multi-sensor fusion is proposed in this paper. The measurements of an accelerometer, gyroscope and pressure sensor were employed to construct a zero-velocity detector. Then, the adaptive threshold was proposed to improve the accuracy of the detector under various motion modes. In addition, to eliminate the height drift, a stairs recognition method was developed to distinguish staircase movement from level walking. Detection performance was examined with experimental data collected at varying motion modes in real scenarios. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method can correctly detect zero velocity intervals under various motion modes.
