Abstract(in English) In recent years, many mobile phones are equipped with GPS, which is essential for our daily life. It is well known that GPS error increases in urban areas due to multipath and shadowing caused by buildings. In this research, we propose a navigation enhancement method using GPS Line-Of-Sight (LOS) detection. We exploit the facts that surrounding buildings change depending on positions, and that GPS signal status changes depending on positions of GPS satellites and GPS receiver, and its surrounding buildings. The proposed method builds fingerprints of GPS LOS status for each position based on building information. Location estimation is performed by fingerprint matching of estimated GPS LOS status. For robust estimation of GPS LOS status against the complex GPS signal reception, we eliminate unreliable estimation results based on offline learning. The performance evaluation using a real data set obtained around Osaka station shows that the proposed method can achieve the average error of 17.9m at the probability of 0.9.
