| description | In this paper we explore how to use the
magnetic tracking technique for indoor navigation. The six degrees of freedom (6 DoF)
magnetic tracking technology is selected because it is less
influenced by the environment and has the highest accuracy among other
techniques. A new method is proposed, called the alternating direct current
(ADC) method, which permits one to get a double update rate, reduce the influence
of Earth's magnetic field by a factor of 2 and reduce the power consumption
by a factor of 3. The theoretical basis of the new magnetic tracking
method is given, including a mathematical modeling of the local field, a
mathematical model of the measurement of the positioning field by a 3-D
transducer based on the Hall effect sensors, and the mathematical model for the
estimation of the measurement errors. A new, net-like source of the
positioning local magnetic field is proposed for indoor navigation with a
scalable coverage area. A mathematical model of the distributed positioning
field is given. The results of simulations are shown. |
