Understanding Inertial Navigation Systems (INS)
GPS signals become scarce when you enter a building, making traditional navigation tricky. That’s where INS comes in. INS is a smart technology that uses motion and rotation sensors to calculate your position, velocity, and orientation, all without relying on GPS. It’s like having your own personal navigator inside your smartphone.
How Cartogram's INS Works for You
At Cartogram, we’ve combined INS with other positioning systems, like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, to create a top-notch indoor wayfinding experience just for you.
- Your Guide: Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs)
Cartogram’s INS is powered by IMUs placed in your device. These special sensors keep track of your movements, accelerations, and turns as you walk through indoor spaces. - Accuracy Amplified: Sensor Fusion
To ensure spot-on accuracy, Cartogram’s wayfinding software uses sensor fusion algorithms. These algorithms blend data from IMUs with info from other systems, like BLE beacons and Wi-Fi, giving you reliable positioning even in busy indoor environments. - Trustworthy Predictions: Dead Reckoning
No worries if there’s a weak signal in certain areas! Cartogram’s INS has got you covered with dead reckoning. It cleverly estimates your position based on previous data and predicts where you’re headed. As soon as the signal is strong again, your location gets updated, and you’re back on track. - Non-Stop Guidance: Seamless Experience
With Cartogram’s INS, you get continuous navigation assistance, even if there’s a brief loss of connection to BLE beacons. You can rely on real-time directions to reach your destination efficiently and hassle-free. No Wi-Fi is required!
Why Cartogram's INS Is Perfect for You
