Abstract

ABSTRACT: In order to improve the precision of course estimation algorithm of pedestrian navigation, the course estimation method of pedestrian navigation based on information compression MDL principle is put forward. First of all, it provides the principle of pedestrian navigation system, the recording method of historical walking information, and the process of data's fusion calculation; second, transfer the problem about course estimation of pedestrian navigation into the problem about information compression of network structure data; finally, it verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method through stimulation study.
