Sensor fusion approach to precision location tracking for irst responder & military personnel

摘要

First responder or military personnel location determination, therefore, remains one of the most complex location applications in existence today. There is no one 'silver bullet' sensor that can achieve the desired goals, and multiple technology nodes are necessary, each of which are at the leading edge of capability. Furthermore, the solution involves a large scale sensor fusion and system integration approach. Cost-effective, high performance MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) inertial sensors can now provide the seed for a potential solution. In this article, Bob Scannell, Business Development Manager for Analog Devices' MEMS inertial sensor products, envisions a complete sensor-to-cloud sensor-fused system, including highly sophisticated algorithms.
