Nowadays, indoor localization systems become the underlying technology and enable a number of location based solutions such as real time location system, first responder location system, inventory management and way finding. Meanwhile, accompany with the growth of smart device, the needs and requirements of indoor localization systems increase significantly. In an indoor environment, disturbances caused by electrical devices and drift problem affect the system accuracy a lot. In order to overcome these problems and ensure a good performance for indoor localization system, in this project, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is used to collect the motion information data and at the same time, with the corrections of Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology, the drift problem of IMU is compensated.
