Bayesian Approach for Indoor Pedestrian Localisation

Michel Bierlaire, Bertrand Merminod

The principal concept of navigation is to start from a known (initial) position and to ensure a continued and reliable localisation of the user during his/her movement. The initial position of the trajectory is usually obtained via GPS or defined by the us ...

Airborne hyperspectral sensor radiometric self-calibration using near-infrared properties of deep water and vegetation

Bertrand Merminod, Vincent Maurice Nouchi, Kevin Sylvain Barbieux

Retrieving the water-leaving reflectance from airborne hyperspectral data implies to deal with three steps. Firstly, the radiance recorded by an airborne sensor comes from several sources: the real radiance of the object, the atmospheric scattering, sky an ...

UWB and MEMS Based Indoor Navigation

Bertrand Merminod, Valérie Jeanne Thérèse Renaudin-Schouler

Thanks to its physical characteristics, Ultra-wideband (UWB) is one of the most promising technologies for indoor pedestrian navigation. UWB radio localisation systems however experience multipath phenomena that decrease the precision and the reliability o ...

Cell-based Automatic Deformation Computation by Analyzing Terrestrial LIDAR Point Clouds

Bertrand Merminod, Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Jing Wu

This paper presents a cell-based approach for computing the deformation of a monitored object by analyzing point cloud data from terrestrial lidar. This approach can automatically generate an informative deformation description (called "deformation map") w ...

Indoor Navigation of Emergency Agents

Bertrand Merminod, Valérie Jeanne Thérèse Renaudin-Schouler, Phillip Tomé

Existing indoor navigation solutions usually rely on pre-installed sensor networks, whereas emergency agents are interested in fully auto-deployable systems. In this paper, an almost self-deployable solution based on Radio-frequency identification tags and ...

Optimal Data Fusion for Pedestrian Navigation based on UWB and MEMS

Bertrand Merminod, Valérie Jeanne Thérèse Renaudin-Schouler

Indoor pedestrian navigation is probably a very challenging research area. In this context, an optimal data fusion filter that hybridises a large set of observations: angles of arrival (AOA), time differences of arrival (TDOA), accelerations, angular veloc ...
