Abstract

Location information is very important for warehouse management, robot or pedestrian positioning. Because of the poor indoor environment, global position system (GPS) cannot reflect the advantages. Therefore, in this paper, a position system based on Kalman Filter (KF) algorithm is proposed, which integrates the information of inertial navigation system (INS) and ultra-wideband system (UWB) to improve the position accuracy. The most critical part of the Kalman Filter is prediction and measuring feedback. At present, inertial navigation technology and ultra-wideband technology have a major part in indoor positioning technology. However, due to their respective disadvantages, it cannot have high precision when using one of them separately. The error of inertial measurement unit (IMU) will increase with time and the ultra-wideband will be affected by multipath effect. The system designed in this paper uses InvenSense’s MPU9150 module and DW1000 module, the UWB measurement information is used to correct the error from IMU. The experimental result show that the positioning accuracy of the fusion system proposed in this paper is obviously higher than that of a single system.
