Are Pre-ascent Low-Altitude Saliva Cortisol Levels Related to the Subsequent Acute Mountain Sickness Score? Observations from a Field Study

Johannes Burtscher

Background: The associations among cortisol levels, body water status, and acute mountain sickness (AMS) remain unclear. We investigated associations between AMS prevalence and severity with resting saliva cortisol levels at low altitude (LA) and high alti ...

Optimal Stochastic Sensor Error Modeling based on Actual Impact on Quality of GNSS-INS Integrated Navigation

Jan Skaloud, Stéphane Guerrier, Mehran Khaghani

Proper modeling of stochastic errors in inertial sensors plays a crucial role in the achievable quality of GNSS-INS integration especially with low-cost inertial sensors. Generalized Method of Wavelet Moments (GMWM) can model the underlying process for suc ...

Sensitivity to Time Delays in VDM-Based Navigation

Jan Skaloud, Gabriel François Laupré, Mehran Khaghani

A recently proposed navigation methodology for aerial platforms based on the vehicle dynamic model (VDM) has shown promising results in terms of navigation autonomy. Its practical realization requires that control inputs are related to the same absolute ti ...

Behavioural compass: animal behaviour recognition using magnetometers

Kamiar Aminian, Pritish Chakravarty, Maiki Maalberg

Animal-borne data loggers today often house several sensors recording simultaneously at high frequency. This offers opportunities to gain fine-scale insights into behaviour from individual-sensor as well as integrated multi-sensor data. In the context of b ...

Preparation for Endurance Competitions at Altitude: Physiological, Psychological, Dietary and Coaching Aspects. A Narrative Review

Johannes Burtscher

It was the Summer Olympic Games 1968 held in Mexico City (2,300 m) that required scientists and coaches to cope with the expected decline of performance in endurance athletes and to establish optimal preparation programs for competing at altitude. From tha ...

Joint Inertial Sensor Orientation Drift Reduction for Highly Dynamic Movements

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Chardonnens, Benedikt Fasel

Inertial sensor drift is usually corrected on a single-sensor unit level. When multiple sensor units are used, mutual information from different units can be exploited for drift correction. This study introduces a method for a drift-reduced estimation of t ...

Submaximal exercise testing at low altitude for prediction of exercise tolerance at high altitude

Johannes Burtscher

Annually, thousands of air travellers visit high altitude destinations to enjoy hiking tours to attractions in surrounding areas. However, many of them are not adequately trained, not sufficiently acclimatized and/or may suffer from pre-existing diseases. ...

Construction of Dynamically-Dependent Stochastic Error Models

Jan Skaloud, Stéphane Guerrier, Philipp Clausen

Stochastic behavior of an instrument is often analyzed by constructing the Allan (or wavelet) variance signatures from an error signal. For inertial sensors, such a signature is conveniently obtained by recording data at rest. The analysis of this signal w ...

Tightly Coupled GNSS/INS Integration based on Robust M-Estimators

Jan Skaloud, Michael Meurer

The combination of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) has become the baseline of many vehicular applications. However, in challenging GNSS scenarios, classical GNSS/INS integration estimators are very sensitive ...
