Abstract
A wearable walking navigation system without any special infrastructures has been developed to guide visually impaired. It is important to estimate a position correctly so that safe navigation can be realized. In our system, different sensor data are fused to estimate a pedestrian's position. An image processing system and a laser range finder were used to estimate the positions indoors. In this paper, we introduce the concept of “similarity” between map information and sensor data. This similarity is used to estimate the positions. Experimental results show that highly accurate position estimation can be achieved by sensor fusion. The positions in a linear passage were estimated using image processing data, and when the passage turns, the positions were estimated using LRF data.
