Geomagnetic Aided Dead-Reckoning Navigation
… geomagnetic referencing models capable of dead reckoning at GPS denied intervals. A geomagnetic matching algorithm combined with a nearest contour point of the magnetic surface is studied. Combined with an Extended Kalman filter as Inertial Navigation scheme, numerical simulations and …

About Time... (Some Patterns of Time -Reckoning)
There are different ways of combining and, hence, different patterns of temporal directionality. These patterns are context specific. By contrast, temporal rhythms occur in different contexts and may have universal features that may allow for an anthropological discussion of time that is primarily …

A Bayesian occupancy grid filter for robust pedestrian dead reckoning
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2025-12-01

Gyroscope Calibration and Dead Reckoning for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
… calibration method is applied to a simple dead reckoning algorithm in an attempt to measure the improvements calibration provides.

Slip-Correction Methods for Improved Dead Reckoning in Autonomous Wheeled Robots
This work compares methods for improving the dead-reckoning capabilities of a mobile robot in the presence of longitudinal slip. They were evaluated using a standardized test of driving in a 140-centimetre square. Testing was conducted on high-friction rubber and low-friction artificial ice …

“Reckoning the nation: 19th century statistics, probability theory and nation-building.”
Statistics are frequently viewed as straightforward and technical tools – applicable to the study of literally anything - capable of revealing ‘natural truths’ that are apolitical, objective and universally accepted by experts. However, the universal and unquestioned application of statistics is …

LSTM and extended dead reckoning automobile route prediction using smartphone sensors
… route taken. The two approaches, Extended Dead Reckoning and LSTM, are compared for their advantages and disadvantages. These concepts are explored by recording nearly one thousand miles of driving data from Virginia to Indiana to Illinois. The GPS data is used to train the LSTM neural network …

Development of a Physics-Aware Dead Reckoning Mechanism for Distributed Interactive Applications
… for shared objects, and a physics-aware dead reckoning model with an adaptive error threshold. The first part is intended to place a bound on the overall inconsistency present in shared objects, while the second is implemented to minimise the instantaneous inconsistency during users’ …

Post Racial Reckoning: Montessori Instructors' Perspectives on Teaching Through An Antibias Antiracist Lens
<p>Prior to the racial reckoning of 2020, Montessori teacher education programs (MTEPs) have only narrowly focused on social justice education (Aronson et al., 2020; Bartolomè, 2004; Cook, 2015; Cross, 2005; D’Cruz, 2022; King, 1991). Although MTEPs began to respond differently post-reckoning, …

Re-Imagining America : rural futurism, speculative fiction, And reckoning with a new era
At the close of 2016, the United States finds itself deeply fractured, caught between clinging to a nostalgic past and pushing for progressive possibility. As we stand divided, a set of emerging great challenges threaten to rapidly change the world as we know. At such a juncture, I argue that the …

Enhancing Body-Mounted LiDAR SLAM using an IMU-based Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) Model
… sensor fusion scheme. A Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) model based on inertial sensors is used to enhance LiDAR-based SLAM. This proposed fusion uses the PDR model as a replacement for wheel odometry in vehicular platforms. A system prototype has been developed and used for data …

Dead reckoning : where we stand on privacy and security controls for the Internet of Things
This thesis provides an analysis of privacy and security controls for internet-connected data-driven systems, known as the Internet of Things (IoT). The grounding theory is that numerous pre-existing privacy and security control methods -- not necessarily crafted for IoT -- will bear on the future …

Becoming a Beloved Community: A Restorative Reckoning for a Radical Conversion to Transform Discourse in Higher Education
… whiteness, calling for restorative reckoning that necessitates radical commitment to equity, decolonization, and the transformative potential of justice in higher education, and presents the "HEAL Humanity Now!" framework, which advocates for the decolonization of restorative justice …

MEMS IMU navigation with model based dead-reckoning and one-way-travel-time acoustic range measurements for autonomous underwater vehicles
Recent advances in acoustic navigation methodologies are enabling the way for AUVs to extend their submerged mission time and maintain a bounded XY position error. Additionally, advances in inertial sensor technology have drastically lowered the size, power consumption, and cost of these sensors. …

Reckoning with white-flight and faith: an ethno-theological case study of racial history and evangelical memory in postwar Los Angeles
Evangelicals in North America are divided over their understandings of racism and its history. This divide is evident in the polarized politics of the country and the Black-white binary of its culture. Historically, white Christians had a sordid past of racism, overtly seen in those who …

Eastern Bororo Space-Time: Structure, Process and Precise Knowledge Among a Native Brazilian People
This work examines the time reckoning practices and concepts of the Bororo Indians of Brazil, the relevance of time to space, and the manner in which these interests are related to social organization. At issue is an alleged ad hoc and imprecise character of native time reckoning and the tendency …
