Pedestrian Inertial Navigation with Self-Contained Aiding

<p><b>Explore an insightful summary of the major self-contained&nbsp;aiding technologies for pedestrian navigation from established and emerging leaders in the field&nbsp;</b></p> <p><i>Pedestrian Inertial Navigation with Self-Contained Aiding</i>&nbsp;delivers&nbsp;a comprehensive and broad treatment of&nbsp;self-contained aiding techniques in pedestrian inertial navigation. The book combines an introduction to the general concept of navigation&nbsp;and major navigation and aiding techniques with more specific discussions of topics central to the field, as well as an exploration of the future of the future of the field: Ultimate Navigation Chip (uNavChip) technology.&nbsp;</p> <p>The most commonly used implementation of pedestrian inertial navigation, strapdown inertial navigation, is discussed at length, as are the mechanization, implementation, error analysis, and adaptivity of zero-velocity update aided inertial navigation algorithms.&nbsp;The book demonstrates the implementation of ultrasonic sensors, ultra-wide band (UWB) sensors, and magnetic sensors.&nbsp;Ranging techniques are considered as well, including both foot-to-foot ranging and inter-agent ranging, and learning algorithms, navigation with signals of opportunity, and cooperative localization&nbsp;are discussed.&nbsp;Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>A thorough introduction to the general concept of navigation&nbsp;as well as major navigation and aiding techniques&nbsp;</li> <li>An exploration of inertial navigation implementation, Inertial Measurement Units, and strapdown inertial navigation&nbsp;</li> <li>A discussion of error analysis in strapdown inertial navigation, as well as the motivation of aiding techniques for pedestrian inertial navigation&nbsp;</li> <li>A treatment of the zero-velocity update (ZUPT) aided inertial navigation algorithm, including its mechanization, implementation, error analysis, and adaptivity&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Perfect for&nbsp;students and researchers in the field who seek a broad understanding of the subject,&nbsp;<i>Pedestrian Inertial Navigation with Self-Contained Aiding</i>&nbsp;will also earn a place in the libraries of&nbsp;industrial researchers and industrial marketing analysts&nbsp;who need a self-contained summary of the foundational elements of the field.&nbsp;</p>
