Abstract

This paper demonstrates the benefits of adapting Zero-Velocity Update (ZVU) algorithms in foot-mounted pedestrian inertial navigation by finely tuning the algorithm to account for the type of terrain over which the pedestrian travels. Conventional ZVU algorithms for foot-mounted inertial navigation are designed for indoor use and do not account for differences from various terrains. Different terrains affect the natural pedestrian gait and how zero-velocity intervals (ZVIs) are identified. By tuning the algorithm to account for accelerometer and gyro-scope magnitude and walking cycle duration across four terrains (concrete, grass, pebble and sand) the accuracy is improved up to 31.04%, dependent on the terrain, and viable for outdoor use.
