    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for head dimension estimation for spatial audio applications. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining, using one or more processors of an audio headset worn on a user's head, acceleration samples and rotation rate samples over a specified time window while the user rotates their head, the acceleration samples and rotation rate samples measured using motion sensors in the headset; determining a function that relates the acceleration samples to the rotation rate samples; comparing the function to a plurality of reference functions, where each reference function corresponds to a different head dimension in a nominal range of head dimensions; and estimating a dimension of the user's head based on the comparing.

    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for PDR for different device placements. In some embodiments, a method comprises: obtaining motion data from a motion sensor of a mobile device; determining pedestrian or non-pedestrian class based on the device motion data; determining a placement of the device based on the device motion data; estimating a first direction of travel based on multiple direction of travel sources and the device placement; estimating a first velocity based on the pedestrian or non-pedestrian classification, the first estimate of direction of travel and a first estimate of speed; estimating a second velocity based on a kinematic model and the device motion data; selecting the first estimated velocity or the second estimated velocity based on selection logic; and determining a relative position of the device based on the selected estimated velocity.
