| Abstract | Today's smartphones are powerful devices whose continually increasing processing power and wide array of sensors make them well suited for use as personal navigation devices. In the absence of information from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), the onboard inertial sensors can be used to provide a relative navigation solution. However, these onboard inertial sensors suffer from the effects of different sensor errors which cause the inertial-only solution to deteriorate rapidly. As such, there is a need to constrain the inertial positioning solution when long term navigation is needed. GNSS positions and velocities, and WiFi positions are the most important forms of updates available for the inertial solution. However, updates from these two sources depend on external signals and may not always be available. A rich source of information about the outside world can be obtained using the device's camera. Nearly all devices have at least one camera which has thus far been largely neglected as a navigation aid for these mobile devices. There are many indoor scenarios that require accurate height estimates. Traditionally, barometers have been used to provide height information. However, not all mobile devices that are equipped with inertial sensors are also equipped with a barometer. As nearly all devices are equipped with at least one camera, it is our aim to use information from the camera to aid the inertial-only solution with appropriate height estimates. Different pattern analysis techniques are used to identify the different scenarios. The results are presented for the following common use cases: (1) single floor texting mode, (2) stairs texting mode, (3) single floor calling mode, (4) stairs calling mode, and (5) fidgeting the phone while standing still on a single floor (i.e. “fidgeting”). For each of these use cases, first the context will be determined and then the relevant information will be used to calculate the height accordingly. This work is patent pending. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
