N2 - Foot-mounted inertial pedestrian positioning system (FIPPS) is increasingly important in the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities because of the passive, anti-interference, and fully automatic advantages. However, FIPPS faces the problem of unknown initial positions and accumulative errors in practical applications, which makes the positioning trajectory inaccurate and unable to be matched in a well-defined coordinate system. A seamless indoor-outdoor inertial pedestrian positioning method based on smartphone precise point positioning (PPP)/3-D map/barometer augmentation is proposed to solve this problem. The main contributions include the following: 1) a 3-D-mapping-aided PPP (3DMA PPP) method is proposed to detect and eliminate non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signals to provide high-precision initial coordinates for FIPPS, which enables positioning trajectories to be matched in the unified WGS-84 coordinate system; 2) the adaptive zero-velocity update (ZUPT) approach based on neuro-fuzzy inference is used to precisely identify the stance phases of various gait patterns to suppress position and velocity error accumulation; 3) a barometer and 3-D building model-based height constraint algorithm is applied to further improve the height estimation of the FIPPS; and 4) an Android application named FYTECH is developed for data transmission between the smartphone and FIPPS and supports the online display of pedestrian positioning trajectories. In a seamless outdoor-indoor experiment with multiple motion patterns, including walking, running, elevators and stairs, we demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve RMS errors better than 1.17 and 1.32 m in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. The performance indicates that our method can conveniently fuse multisource sensor information, such as foot wearables, smartphones, and 3-D maps to greatly enhance pedestrians' seamless indoor-outdoor navigation experience.
