Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel sensor-fusion method that reconstructs trajectory of mobile devices from MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU). In trajectory reconstruction, the position estimation suffers seriously from the errors in the raw MEMS data, e.g. accelerometer signal, especially after its second-order integration over time. To eliminate the influence of the errors, a new error model is proposed for MEMS devices. The error model consists of two components, i.e. noise and bias, corresponding to different types of errors. For the noise component, a low-pass filter with down sampling is applied to reduce the inherent noise in the data. For the bias component, an algorithm is designed to detect the events of movement in a manner of sensor fusion. Then, the denoised data is further calibrated, according to different types of events to remove the bias. We apply our trajectory reconstruction method on a quadrotor drone with low-cost MEMS IMU devices, and experiments show the effectiveness of the method.
