The specific objective of this study is to propose a low-cost indoor navigation framework with nonbasic equipment by combining inertial sensors and indoor map messages. The proposed pedestrian navigation framework consists of a lower filter and an upper filter. In the lower filter which is designed based on the Kalman filter, the adaptive zero velocity detection algorithm is used to detect the zero velocity interval at different motion speeds, and then, zero velocity update is applied to rectify the inertial navigation solutions’ errors. In the upper filter which is designed based on the nonrecursive Bayesian filter, the map matching method with nonrecursive Bayesian filter is adopted to fuse the map prior information and the lower filter estimation results to correct the errors of navigation. The position estimation presented in this study achieves an average position error of 0.53 m compared to the ZUPT-aided inertial navigation system (INS) method under different motion states. The proposed pedestrian navigation algorithm achieves an average position error of 0.54 m as compared to the ZUPT-aided INS method among the different tested distances. The proposed framework simplifies the indoor positioning system under multiple motion speed conditions by ensuring the accuracy and stability property. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed framework are experimentally verified in various real-world scenarios.

The zero velocity update (ZUPT) algorithm is an effective way to suppress the error growth for a foot-mounted pedestrian navigation system. To make ZUPT work properly, it is necessary to detect zero velocity intervals correctly. Existing zero velocity detection methods cannot provide good performance at high gait speeds or stair climbing. An adaptive zero velocity detection approach based on multi-sensor fusion is proposed in this paper. The measurements of an accelerometer, gyroscope and pressure sensor were employed to construct a zero-velocity detector. Then, the adaptive threshold was proposed to improve the accuracy of the detector under various motion modes. In addition, to eliminate the height drift, a stairs recognition method was developed to distinguish staircase movement from level walking. Detection performance was examined with experimental data collected at varying motion modes in real scenarios. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method can correctly detect zero velocity intervals under various motion modes.

Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) is a core component in pedestrian navigation. Usually, PDR algorithms use the current position and movement information to figure out position in the future in order to accomplish the navigation task. Step detection, as a basic portion of PDR, is significant for the implementation of Pedestrian Navigation. In this paper, a step detection algorithm is designed based on the existing research in the relative area. To improve accuracy, the algorithm involves a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) for optimizing. At last, an experiment is conducted for this algorithm, and the error rate of step detection is less than 1%.

PurposeAn important predictor of postsecondary academic success is an individual's reading comprehension skills. Postsecondary readers apply a wide range of behavioral strategies to process text for learning purposes. Currently, no tools exist to detect a reader's use of strategies. The primary aim of this study was to develop Read, Understand, Learn, & Excel, an automated tool designed to detect reading strategy use and explore its accuracy in detecting strategies when students read digital, expository text.MethodAn iterative design was used to develop the computer algorithm for detecting 9 reading strategies. Twelve undergraduate students read 2 expository texts that were equated for length and complexity. A human observer documented the strategies employed by each reader, whereas the computer used digital sequences to detect the same strategies. Data were then coded and analyzed to determine agreement between the 2 sources of strategy detection (i.e., the computer and the observer).ResultsAgreement between the computer- and human-coded strategies was 75% or higher for 6 out of the 9 strategies. Only 3 out of the 9 strategies–previewing content, evaluating amount of remaining text, and periodic review and/or iterative summarizing–had less than 60% agreement.ConclusionRead, Understand, Learn, & Excel provides proof of concept that a reader's approach to engaging with academic text can be objectively and automatically captured. Clinical implications and suggestions to improve the sensitivity of the code are discussed.Supplemental Materialhttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.8204786
