| Summary: | This report is an to evaluate on the study of the limitations of Inertial Navigation System using MicroElectronicMechanical System (MEMS) and devise a methodology and algorithm for these MEMS components to enable accurate tracking and positioning of pedestrian in the environment such as indoor or shopping mall where GPS signal is weak or unavailable. In this project, the MEMS components use is XSENS MTW device.
But before experiment started, understanding of the device is firstly done by doing some testing to the MEMS inertial components, accelerometer & gyroscope. By doing this testing, information on the characteristic of each components can be understand.
Several experiments are done to study the limitations. The experiment is design such that each is experiment has different factor from one another. Factors like timing, how the device move to reach the ending point is included in the experiment. By having different factors on each experiment, the results from this experiment will tell the limitations of using this MEMS device.
The project will then proceed on experiment on attaching the XSENS device on the different part of the body to understand the limitations of each position. |
