Simplified Pedestrian Tracking Filters with Positioning and Foot-Mounted Inertial Sensors by Henar Martin, Juan A. Besada, Ana M. Bernardos, Eduardo Metola, José R. Casar

“…Pedestrian tracking is one of the bases for many ubiquitous context-aware services, but it is still an open issue in indoor environments or when GPS estimations are not optimal. In this paper, we propose two novel different data fusion algorithms to track a pedestrian using current positioning technologies (i.e., GPS, received signal strength localization from Wi-Fi or Bluetooth networks, etc.) and low cost inertial sensors. …”
