Abstract

This paper compares position measurement techniquesusing dead reckoning. We are seeking to find a techniquewhich is suitable for use by pedestrians, and have compareda number of sensors that can be used to achieve a robustand accurate dead reckoning system. All our techniquesare step based. To measure steps we have compared the useof pedometers and accelerometers. To determine headingwe have compared two and three dimensional compassesand a rate gyroscope. Finally we have performed four casestudies based on real applications with standard deviationmeasured at 2.2m for a short test and 19.9m for an extendedtest. These errors can be reduced by using more computationallyexpensive filtering operations.
