Dead Reckoning has successfully been used as a navigational method in the maritime field for positioning between two fixed locations. This approach can be also implemented for smartphones using acceleration sensor and magnetic field sensor. The reliability of the compass values obtained is important in order to calculate the new position. Different tests of accuracy of compass readings of two different smartphones under various test conditions are presented. Moreover, the accuracy of the reconstruction of two walked indoor/outdoor paths using Dead Reckoning will be investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
