  MAPPING  
 

The future of the map –the map of the future
Prof Dr Georg Gartner

Modern Cartography is key to human mankind. Without maps we would be“spatially blind”. Knowledge about spatial relations and location of objects are most important…New and innovative technologies have an important impact into what cartographers are doing... [more]

 



  NAVIGATION  
  Pedestrian Indoor Navigation with Smartphones
Jhen-Kai Liao Kai-Wei Chiang and Chih-Hung Li
This study uses the indoor control point as the update measurement in the extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to aid the Inertial Navigation System (INS) without GNSS. The walking velocity from a pedometer and step length model is applied as the constraint of moving direction in EKF...
