TLDR
In this paper, a personal inertial surveying system includes an inertial sensor and processing equipment adapted to be mounted to or carried by a person walking through a region being surveyed.Abstract:
A personal inertial surveying system includes an inertial sensor and processing equipment adapted to be mounted to or carried by a person walking through a region being surveyed. As the person walks inaccuracies in position measurement due to drifts in the inertial sensor can be conveniently corrected. Corrections can be performed often during brief pauses as the person paces though the region, resulting in improved accuracy in the survey.read more

Dead reckoning navigational system using accelerometer to measure foot impacts
Robert W. Levi,Thomas Judd +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a microcomputer assisted position finding system that integrates GPS data, dead reckoning sensors, and digital maps into a low-cost, self-contained navigation instrument is disclosed.
Patent
Handheld gui pda with gps/dgps receiver for collecting agronomic and gps position data
TL;DR: In this article, a handheld graphic user interface (GUI) personal digital assistant (PDA) computer coupled with a GPS/dGPS receiver module is used to collect data associated with position information.
Patent
Method and apparatus for determining position and orientation of a moveable object using accelerometers
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified radar-based tracking system is disposed relative to the object and periodically provides additional tracking data on the object to the tracking processor, which uses the additional data to correct the position and orientation information using a feedback filter process.
Patent
Inertial orientation tracker apparatus method having automatic drift compensation for tracking human head and other similarly sized body
TL;DR: In this article, a self-contained sensor apparatus generates a signal that corresponds to at least two of the three orientational aspects of yaw, pitch and roll of a human-scale body relative to an external reference frame.
