Abstract
A magnetic beacon and inertial sensor system for precise indoor localization is provided using active magnetic beacons, magnetometers and inertial measurement units. The system is designed to work in environments that are not conducive to radio frequency (RF) (such as GPS, cell, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth) or optical techniques (CCTV, IR), such as inside heavy industrial plant settings, underground or underwater.
