description In this work, open-loop position tracking using low-cost inertial measurement units is aided by Takagi-Sugeno velocity classification using the subtractive clustering algorithm to help generate the fuzzy rule base. Using the grid search approach, a suitable window of classified velocity vectors was obtained and then integrated to generate trajectory segments. Using publicly available experimental data, the reconstruction accuracy of the method is compared against four competitive pedestrian tracking algorithms. The comparison on selected test data, has demonstrated more competitive relative and absolute trajectory error metrics. The proposed method in this paper is also verified on an independent experimental data set. Unlike the methods which use deep learning, the proposed method has shown to be transparent (fuzzy rule base). Lastly, a sensitivity analysis of the velocity classification models to perturbations from the training orientation at test time is investigated, to guide developers of such data-driven algorithms on the granularity required in an ensemble modeling approach. The accuracy and transparency of the approach may positively influence applications requiring low-cost inertial position tracking such as augmented reality headsets for emergency responders.
