Abstract: In accordance with one implementation of the present disclosure, a new approach for determining a movement orientation of a user is proposed in indoor navigation. Generally speaking, a device orientation of a terminal device is obtained based on at least one signal stream collected from the terminal device carried by a moving user. A deviation degree is determined based on the at least one signal stream, here the deviation degree represents a deviation between a movement orientation of the user and an actual device orientation of the terminal device. The movement orientation is determined based on the device orientation in accordance with a determination that the deviation degree is below a threshold degree. With the above implementation, the movement orientation of the user is determined in a more effective an accurate way, and thus accuracy of the indoor navigation is increased.

Abstract: In accordance with one implementation of the present disclosure, a new approach for identifying a stepping event is proposed in indoor navigation. Generally speaking, a first signal fragment and a second signal fragment respectively within a first time window and a second time window in an acceleration signal stream are obtained, here the acceleration signal stream is collected from an acceleration sensor associated with a moving user, the first time window being shorter than the second time window. A first amplitude feature and a second amplitude feature are determined for the first and second time windows based on the first and second signal fragments, respectively. A stepping event of the user is identified based on a deviation between the first and second amplitude features. With the above implementation, the stepping event is identified in a more effective an accurate way, and thus accuracy of the indoor navigation is increased.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for domain adaptation between a plurality of source domains and a target domain. The artificial intelligence method includes receiving labeled data from the plurality of source domains and unlabeled data from the target domain. The method further includes separately training, by a processor, a plurality of source classifiers each corresponding to a source domain using the labeled data received from the respective source domains. The method also includes selecting a subset of the labeled data received from each source domain based on a similarity between the selected labeled data and the unlabeled data of the target domain. The method additionally includes refining, by the processor, each source classifier using the selected subset of the labeled data, and predicting labels of the unlabeled data using the refined source classifiers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for navigating a user to a destination are provided. An exemplary indoor navigation method uses a terminal device. The method includes capturing, by the terminal device, image data of an indoor scene, and determining a current position of the user based on the captured image data. The method also includes determining a navigation path and a navigation sign for navigating the user from the current position to the destination, and rendering, by the terminal device, a three-dimensional representation of the indoor scene with the navigation sign placed therein based on the image data and the navigation path. The navigation sign signals the navigation path in the three-dimensional representation. The method further includes displaying, on the terminal device, the three-dimensional representation to the user.
