INDOOR LOCALIZATION OF MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to indoor localization, for example, where GPS or other localization signals are unavailable. More specifically, aspects relate to using a particle filter in conjunction with a gyroscope and/or accelerometer (166) to identify a current location of a client device (171) with respect to a map (300). In one example, the map may be based upon a map (300) including a series of walls 310-17 representing locations where a user may not walk within a building. In another example, the map may be based upon a series of rails (1340), (1350), (1360), (1370), (1380) representing locations where a user may walk within a building.
