Abstract: A pedometer with a three-axis accelerometer provides reliable step counts while worn on the wrist. Three-axis accelerometer data is combined into a single combined data stream. Each positive slope region around an inflection point in the combined data stream that has positive slope, a magnitude that exceeds an amplitude threshold value and that spans a time period that exceeds a time threshold value is identified. Each negative slope region around an inflection point in the combined data stream that has negative slope, a magnitude that exceeds an amplitude threshold value and that spans a time period that exceeds a time threshold value is identified. A step count is incremented for each occurrence of an identified positive slope region that is separated by an identified negative slope region as a step.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for navigation in a GPS-denied environment that do not rely on locations of known points. Instead, the operator can measure distance and/or inclination as well as azimuth to arbitrary points on the visual horizon (or sub-horizon) from their location. These observations can then be compared to precomputed distances and inclinations for corresponding azimuths to the visual horizon of a grid of points based on known surface terrain data. The closest grid point to the observer's location obtained in this way can be refined using a model of the surrounding environment, allowing for the operators position to be quickly and accurately determined.
