1 Improved Pedestrian Navigation Based on Drift-Reduced NavChip MEMS IMU Eric Foxlin Aug. 3, 2009 WPI Workshop on Precision Indoor Personnel Location and Tracking for Emergency Responders

2 Outline Summary of the problem and NavShoe solution concept Original results with COTS MEMS inertial sensors and magnetometers (from WPI 2006) Development of the NavChip proprietary MEMS IMU and performance improvements realized over COTS MEMS sensors The fundamental problem of heading observability and some new solution ideas

3 The Problem GPS doesn t work indoors Cannot assume a prepared environment or use of any tracking infrastructure To obtain meter-level accuracy and thorough coverage with RF/UWB requires setting up multiple antennas around the building Pedometer/compass dead-reckoning modules not sufficiently robust and accurate Must calibrate for individual user s step size Changes in size of steps cause errors Variations in direction of steps cause errors Current products specify drift accumulation of 2-5% of distance travelled, and that assumes normal walking with consistent gait.

5 Inertial Navigation Error Growth commercial-grade tacticalgrade strategicgrade navigation-grade geophysical limit mm seconds

6 NavShoe Concept Foot-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU) Short-term inertial navigation measures the 6-DOF trajectory of each step works with any kind of motion Break cubic error growth by resetting velocity to zero after each step: Take advantage of correlated position/velocity errors in Kalman filter to also remove most position error with each ZVU: Correct heading drift of small MEMS gyros, based on compass measurements averaged over a long distance

7 Results (Outdoors) Trajectory of NavShoe during 741m road loop. northing (meters) easting (meters)

8 Results (Indoors) Trajectory of NavShoe during m (322 s) exploratory path through house. Final position error was ( ), about 0.3% 6 bed upstairs bedroom 4 5 northing (meters) st -floor bedroom dining table up (meters) sofa kitchen easting (meters) Plan view easting (meters) Elevation

9 Need for Improved Inertial Sensor Outdoor and wood-frame house navigation results were very good at 0.3% of distance travelled. However, this solution was heavily dependant on compass to control yaw drift, and did not work so well in typical office building containing lots of steel. Ability to reject magnetic disturbances is proportional to quality of gyros, so in 2007 InterSense embarked on development of next generation IMU, NavChip, based on custom MEMS technology with 10X performance gains

10 NavChip Performance Goals 2X wider dynamic ranges to handle max shoe-mounted rates and accelerations Single-chip epoxy-encapsulated IMU for ruggedness, long-term alignment stability & environmental protection Miniaturized for embedding in shoe 10X improved gyro drift to better reject magnetic disturbances

11 NavChip Progress Summary Rev.A received Dec 08 preliminary performance characterization & design validation led to several design and manufacturing improvements Rev.B received April 09 - demonstrated at Sensors Expo in June Rev.C redesigned for improved manufacturing yield, expect first articles in August.

17 Unaided NavChip Indoors

18 Outdoors

19 Outside Coming In

20 Heading Observability Issue Even with the improved gyros, it is too hard to extract reliable heading information from magnetometers in a metal-rich environment: Need a different aiding source

21 Aiding possibilities Solutions that won t work for firefighters: Map matching Straight line assumptions RF triangulation Solutions that might work for firefighters: Sparse RF range aiding Trajectory matching software

22 Sparse RF Ranging

23 Trajectory Matching Idea Even if it is impossible to state a firefighter s absolute coordinates in the building accurately due to gradual heading drift, it is still possible to find him by retracing the path he took Trajectory matching software overlays the rescuer s trajectory (green) on the victim s trajectory (yellow), and automatically warps one or both trajectories to bring them together when they start to diverge. This allows the incident commander to see at a glance where the rescuer is along the victim s path and give him appropriate directions over the radio

24 Trajectory Matching Implementation Each trajectory consists of a string of dots (one per step) connected by springs with rest length equal to the original (NavShoe-measured) distance between the dots. Each dot also contains an angular (torque) spring with rest angle equal to the original angle between the incoming and outgoing step vectors. The origin of both trajectories is fixed at the same point, e.g. entrance door. Moving or applying force to a point in the middle of a trajectory will bend the portion from the origin to the control point (past history). The remaining (future) section will rotate and translate as a rigid object.

25 Trajectory Matching Rescue Procedure Rescuer starts out following the victim s yellow path, and green path is initially well aligned Eventually the two paths start to diverge slightly, but not yet enough to confuse the incident commander. As the green path grows, software automatically marks interesting features along the path, such as corner points, and draws dotted lines to probable corresponding points on the yellow path. Once there are enough corresponding points to give the software high confidence, it snaps all the corresponding points together, warping the early part of the two trajectories into close alignment. The remaining (downstream) sections of the trajectories also move closer, making it easier for the incident commander to give directions, and easier for the software to establish more correspondences.

26 Trajectory Matching Example Red cross-links represent possible corresponding points which could be pulled together. Note that rescuer need not follow every detail of the victim s trajectory

27 Extension to real-time situational awareness If a number of firefighters are moving through a building, each will eventually pass through certain corridors or around certain corners that others have passed or he has passed before. If this happens before a player s trajectory has diverged too much, perhaps the matching software can match features in different players paths, even though they are not following each other. This will produce more accurate trajectories that are all aligned in the same global coordinate frame, and allow the commander to see where all firefighters are at any time.

28 Questions? InterSense is seeking partners to help develop localization systems incorporating the NavChip or our real-time filtering software.
