Navigation technologies are expanding at a phenomenal rate, especially within the civil community, with devices such as vehicle and personal navigators becoming commonplace within our everyday lives. While vehicle and airborne navigation is a well-established service, personal navigation system (PNS) through smart phones has just started to gain momentum fuelled by the application marketplace proliferation, hardware evolution, and consumer adoption. PNS enables mobile location based services (LBS) which become pervasive and are embedded in many applications such as social networking, resource tracking and positioning people . Global Positioning System (GPS) based navigation devices are the dominant solution for these applications. However, GPS signals are not always available and this poses a great deal of challenge for GPS signal-denied environments such as dense urban canyons, under tree canopy and deep indoors.

导航技术正在以惊人的速度扩展，特别是在民用社区中，车辆和个人导航仪等设备在我们的日常生活中变得司空见惯。虽然车辆和机载导航是一项成熟的服务，但在应用市场激增、硬件发展和消费者采用的推动下，通过智能手机的个人导航系统（PNS）才刚刚开始获得动力。PNS使移动的基于位置的服务（LBS）成为普遍的并且嵌入在诸如社交网络、资源跟踪和定位人的许多应用中。基于全球定位系统（GPS）的导航设备是这些应用的主要解决方案。然而，GPS信号并不总是可用的，这对诸如密集的城市峡谷、树冠下和室内深处等GPS信号被拒绝的环境构成了很大的挑战。
