Motivation

• “How to assist the visually impaired in their self-location and autonomous

navigation in indoor environments with confidence? ”

• Applying hybrid data fusion in a wearable device.

Some Similar Research

• Lu presented a simultaneous mapping and navigation (SLAM)approach using heterogeneous visual information such as points,lines and planes, joined by a multilayer characteristics graph (MFG)algorithm.

• Ruiz introduced an indoor navigation system by reading RSSI valuesin RFID markers. The data were fused by a Kalman filter. Thealgorithms Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR), ZARU (Zero-Angular-Rate Update) and ZUPT (zero-velocity-update-aided) were used toreport location, speed and angulation.

• Hattori proposed to construct a method of estimating IPS usingKalman fusion in a complementary way over wi-fi data with images.Thus, if one sensor does not work, it does not prevent the other fromassuming the task of providing the location.

But …

• Unlike all of the localization approaches discussed above, we believe thatthe hybrid fusion of wi-fi and visual markers may result in a betterlocational accuracy for indoor applications.

Final Considerations

IntroductionRelated workDesign ArchitectureImplementation of the Proposed ModelTests and ResultsFinal Considerations

Results

• When observed in isolation, wi-fi and visual sensors showed an inefficiencyof their uses as a single value input;

• The measurement procedure based on sensor data fusion techniquesallowed the system to be more fault tolerant and capable of providing newinformation that it could not provide individually.

• The results showed that the approach adopted is promising. In fact, it can beapplied to different scenarios because of its scalable capability.
