Elevator, Escalator or Neither? Classifying Pedestrian Conveyor State Using Inertial Navigation System

arXiv:2405.03218v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Classifying a pedestrian in one of the three conveyor states of "elevator," "escalator" and "neither" is fundamental to many applications such as indoor localization and people flow analysis. We estimate, for the first time, the pedestrian conveyor state given the inertial navigation system (INS) readings of accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer sampled from the phone. Our problem is challenging because the INS signals of the conveyor state are coupled and perturbed by unpredictable arbitrary human actions, …
