Indoor Navigation without infrastructure-based Local Positioning System

Harald Sternberg, Matthias Fessele, Christian Hönniger

Abstract

This short document describes the evaluation of an indoor navigation system for pedestrians based on a small Low-Cost Inertial Navigation System (INS). The system components are explained and first investigations that were performed on the campus of the HafenCity University (HCU) are shown. The focus of the investigation was the transition from outdoor to indoor scenarios. The aim of the project is the optimal integration of the sensor data from the small INS /GPS with other sensors (e.g. cameras and GIS with a self-programmed Kalman Filter (KF)). The research is accomplished in the established Research Group ‘Digital City’ at the HCU. The interdisciplinary team will focus on the development of valued added information and innovative services for the requirements of citizens, employees, businesses and tourists.
