Our Group

3

Prof. Takala, Dr. Collin, Dr. Kirkko-Jaakkola, 5 PhD students Sensor-based navigation research started in 1999 Deep understanding of performance of micro-electro-mechanical-

system (MEMS) sensor in various applications The group has invented novel ways to use the GPS and sensor data

in context-aware applications

MEMS Motion Sensors Accelerometers

specific force, ’all forces except gravitation’

Gyroscopes device body – inertial frame

+ Barometers, magnetometers

Indoor Navigation: GPS

NLOS and low signal strength causes lots of problems in indoors and urban canyons 2003

2012

Indoor Navigation: MEMS

• Take advantage of physiological model of walking: count steps with accelerometers

6

Indoor Navigation: MEMS

• Maps are needed to correct drift
