Abstract
With the emergence of microelectromechanical systems smaller and cheaper
inertial measurement units became available. These constitute the basis for affordable dead reckoning applications but exhibit characteristics
leading to errors in the long term. Especially the error of the gyroscopes lead to heading drift resulting in enlarging positioning error with the distance walked. This paper outlines several approaches to improve and maintain the heading
for pedestrian dead reckoning using sensor fusion, context specific information and justifiable human interaction.
