Abstract:Because the heading estimation in the indoor pedestrian dead reckoning(PDR) system has the problems of cumulative and course angle drifting when gyroscope is used, an course angel calibrating algorithm combined direction sensor with gyroscope is proposed.Firstly, Kalman filter is adopted to eliminate signal interference of direction sensor and dynamic drifting error of gyroscope.Then, the difference value of course angel between direction sensor and gyroscope is calculated to judge whether there existing hard magnetic interference.Finally, the new course angel is got by angel compensation according to the hard magnetic interference degree.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has got better performance than Heuristic Drift Elimination algorithm and Advanced Heuristic Drift Elimination algorithm in term of pedestrian dead reckoning
