    Abstract: An accelerometer in a mobile device is calibrated by taking multiple measurements of acceleration vectors when the mobile device is held stationary at different orientations with respect to a plane normal. A circle is calculated that fits respective tips of measured acceleration vectors in the accelerometer coordinate system. The radius of the circle and the lengths of the measured acceleration vectors are used to calculate a rotation angle for aligning the accelerometer coordinate system with the mobile device surface. A gyroscope in the mobile device is calibrated by taking multiple measurements of a rotation axis when the mobile device is rotated at different rates with respect to the rotation axis. A line is calculated that fits the measurements. The angle between the line and an axis of the gyroscope coordinate system is used to align the gyroscope coordinate system with the mobile device surface.

    Abstract: An accelerometer located within a mobile device is used to estimate a gravity vector on a target plane in a world coordinate system. The accelerometer makes multiple measurements, each measurement being taken when the mobile device is held stationary on the target plane and a surface of the mobile device faces and is in contact with a planar portion of the target plane. An average of the measurements is calculated. A rotational transformation between an accelerometer coordinate system and a mobile devices coordinate system is retrieved from a memory in the mobile device, where the mobile devices coordinate system is aligned with the surface of the mobile device. The rotational transformation is applied to the averaged measurements to obtain an estimated gravity vector in a world coordinate system defined by the target plane.

    Abstract: A mobile device tracks a relative pose between a camera and a target using Vision aided Inertial Navigation System (VINS), that includes a contribution from inertial sensor measurements and a contribution from vision based measurements. When the mobile device detects movement of the target, the contribution from the inertial sensor measurements to track the relative pose between the camera and the target is reduced or eliminated. Movement of the target may be detected by comparing vision only measurements from captured images and inertia based measurements to determine if a discrepancy exists indicating that the target has moved. Additionally or alternatively, movement of the target may be detected using projections of feature vectors extracted from captured images.

    Abstract: A method performed by an electronic device is described. The method includes determining a predicted velocity relative to Earth corresponding to a first epoch using a camera and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The method also includes determining, using a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, a GPS velocity relative to Earth. The method further includes determining a difference vector between the predicted velocity and the GPS velocity. The method additionally includes refining a bias estimate and a scale factor estimate of IMU measurements proportional to the difference vector. The method also includes refining a misalignment estimate between the camera and the IMU based on the difference vector. The method further includes providing pose information based on the refined bias estimate, the refined scale factor, and the refined misalignment estimate.

    Abstract: A method for visual inertial odometry (VIO) -aided global positioning is described. The method includes updating an extended Kalman filter (EKF) state including a current pose and a sliding window of multiple prior poses. The sliding window includes poses at a number of most recent global positioning system (GPS) time epochs. Updating the EKF includes updating an EKF covariance matrix for the prior poses and the current pose in the EKF state. The method also includes determining, at a GPS epoch, a relative displacement between each of the updated prior poses and the current pose. The method further includes determining an error covariance of each of the relative displacements based on cross-covariances between each of the updated prior poses and the current pose in the EKF covariance matrix. The method additionally includes using the relative displacements and the error covariances to fuse pseudorange measurements taken over multiple epochs.
