Pedestrian localisation for indoor environments [PDF]
Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Ubiquitous computing, 2008 Location information is an important source of context for ubiquitous computing systems. This paper looks at how a foot-mounted inertial unit, a detailed building model, and a particle filter can be combined to provide absolute positioning, despite the presence of drift in the inertial unit and without knowledge of the user's initial location.
