Magnetic sensors have the disadvantage that their vector values differ depending on the direction. In this paper, we propose a magnetic vector calibration method for geomagnetic-based indoor localization estimates. The fingerprinting technique used in geomagnetic-based indoor localization the position by matching the magnetic field map and the magnetic sensor value. However, since the moving direction of the current user may be different from the moving direction of the person who creates the magnetic field map at the collection time, the sampled magnetic vector may have different values from the vector values recorded in the field map. This may substantially lower the positioning accuracy. To avoid this problem, the existing studies use only the magnitude of magnetic vector, but this reduces the uniqueness of the fingerprint, which may also degrade the positioning accuracy. In this paper we propose a vector calibration algorithm which can adjust the sampled magnetic vector values to the vector direction of the magnetic field map by using the parametric equation of a circle. This can minimize the inaccuracy caused by the direction mismatch. |
