Deep Learning Based Speed Estimation for Constraining Strapdown Inertial Navigation on Smartphones

Santiago Cortés · Arno Solin · Juho Kannala

Summary

Strapdown inertial navigation systems are sensitive to the quality of the data provided by the accelerometer and gyroscope. Low-grade IMUs in handheld smart-devices pose a problem for inertial odometry on these devices. We propose a scheme for constraining the inertial odometry problem by complementing non-linear state estimation by a CNN-based deep-learning model for inferring the momentary speed based on a window of IMU samples.

This repository provides the codes for replicationg the speed regression setup in [1]. Please, if you use this code/data, please cite the original paper presenting it.

Dependencies:

Ubuntu 16.04 and python 2.7 (including numpy and matplotlib) were used in all the tests.

The following Python packages were also used

• pytorch (0.3)
• pandas (0.23)

Download and prepare training data

Download and unzip ADVIO dataset files (see ADVIO).

cd data
for i in $(seq -f "%02g" 1 23);
do
  wget -O advio-$i.zip https://zenodo.org/record/1321157/files/advio-$i.zip
  unzip advio-$i.zip
  rm advio-$i.zip	
done
cd ..

Synchronize the accelerometer and gyroscope in the ADVIO data.

cd python
python sync-data.py
