Pedestrian-positioning technology based on the foot-mounted micro inertial measurement unit (MIMU) plays an important role in the field of indoor navigation and has received extensive attention in recent years. However, the positioning accuracy of the inertial-based pedestrian-positioning method is rapidly reduced because of the relatively low measurement accuracy of the measurement sensor. The zero-velocity update (ZUPT) is an error correction method which was proposed to solve the cumulative error because, on a regular basis, the foot is stationary during the ordinary gait; this is intended to reduce the position error growth of the system. However, the traditional ZUPT has poor performance because the time of foot touchdown is short when the pedestrians move faster, which decreases the positioning accuracy. Considering these problems, a forward and reverse calculation method based on the adaptive zero-velocity interval adjustment for the foot-mounted MIMU location method is proposed in this paper. To solve the inaccuracy of the zero-velocity interval detector during fast pedestrian movement where the contact time of the foot on the ground is short, an adaptive zero-velocity interval detection algorithm based on fuzzy logic reasoning is presented in this paper. In addition, to improve the effectiveness of the ZUPT algorithm, forward and reverse multiple solutions are presented. Finally, with the basic principles and derivation process of this method, the MTi-G710 produced by the XSENS company is used to complete the test. The experimental results verify the correctness and applicability of the proposed method.
基于足部微惯性测量单元 (MIMU) 的行人定位技术在室内导航领域发挥着重要作用,近年来受到广泛关注。然而,由于测量传感器的测量精度相对较低,基于惯性的行人定位方法的定位精度会迅速降低。零速更新 (ZUPT) 是一种误差校正方法,旨在解决累积误差,因为在常规步态中,脚在正常情况下是静止的;这旨在减少系统位置误差的增长。然而,传统的 ZUPT 性能较差,因为当行人移动得更快时,脚触地的时间很短,这会降低定位精度。针对这些问题,本文提出了一种基于自适应零速间隔调整的足部 MIMU 定位方法的正反计算方法。为了解决在行人快速移动时,由于脚与地面接触时间短而导致零速间隔探测器不准确的问题,本文提出了一种基于模糊逻辑推理的自适应零速间隔检测算法。此外,为了提高 ZUPT 算法的有效性,提出了正反多个解决方案。最后,使用 XSENS 公司生产的 MTi-G710 完成了测试,以基本原理和推导过程为依据。实验结果验证了所提出方法的正确性和适用性。
