Overall Project Goal
• Indoor LocalizationTracking
• For first responders• No Pre‐installed
Infrastructure• Rapid Deployment
2297Joint Navigation Conference, June 27-30, 2011, Colorado Springs, CO
Inertial RF FusionOverview
• Design an Inertial Tracking solution– Foot Mounted IMU– (Extended) Kalman Filter
• Design an RF algorithm which uses Inertial information at the signal (not range) level– (ISAR) Inverse Synthetic
Aperture (sART) Singular value Reconciliation Tomography (ISART)
• Close the loop to update the Inertial

sART
• Combines the data at the signal level
• Each point is rephasedas if the signal originated there
• Metric is computed using Singular Value Decomposition
• Each point is compared via its metric value

ISART
• Use the benefits of both systems• Inertial is good in the
short term• RF has no drift
• Use the inertial track to tie together multiple RF measurements

Conclusions
• Designed an Inertial Tracking solution– Contributed a filter creation method which was automated and based on sensor specifications
– Demonstrated validity on a publically available data set
• Design an RF algorithm which uses Inertial information– Contributed an algorithm which mitigates difficult RF environments by using inertial tracks
– Demonstrated preliminary results
