Abstract

Real-time and robust state estimation for pedestrians is a challenging problem under the satellite denial environment. The zero-velocity-aided foot-mounted inertial navigation system, with the shortcomings of unobservable heading, error accumulation, and poorly adaptable parameters, is a conventional method to estimate the pose relative to a known origin. Visual and inertial fusion is a popular technology for state estimation over the past decades, but it cannot make full use of the movement characteristics of pedestrians. In this paper, we propose a novel visual-aided inertial navigation algorithm for pedestrians, which improves the robustness in the dynamic environment and for multi-motion pedestrians. The algorithm proposed combines the zero-velocity-aided INS with visual odometry to obtain more accurate pose estimation in various environments. And then, the parameters of INS have adjusted adaptively via taking errors between fusion estimation and INS outputs as observers in the factor graphs. We evaluate the performance of our system with real-world experiments. Results are compared with other algorithms to show that the absolute trajectory accuracy in the algorithm proposed has been greatly improved, especially in the dynamic scene and multi-motions trials.
