چکیده
The report presents a automated calibration solution capable of evaluating the gains and biases of an accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope with minimal human intervention. The solution developed uses off-the-shelf components and distributable software. The results presented indicate that the solution is effective though greater accuracy may be achieved through further development.

Maximum likelihood calibration of a magnetometer using inertial sensors
Magnetometers and inertial sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) are widely used to estimate 3D orientation. For the orientation estimates to be accurate, the sensor axes need to be aligned and the magnetometer needs to be calibrated for sensor errors and for the presence of magnetic disturbances. In this work we use a grey-box system identification approach to compute maximum likelihood esti...

ABSTRACT: Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) consist of accelerometers, gyroscopes and a microprocessor provide inertial digital data from which position and orientation is obtained by integrating the specific forces and rotation rates. In addition to the accelerometers and gyroscopes, magnetometers can be used to derive the absolute user heading based on Earth's magnetic field. Unfortunately, t...

متن کاملTime- and Computation-Efficient Calibration of MEMS 3D Accelerometers and Gyroscopes
We propose calibration methods for microelectromechanical system (MEMS) 3D accelerometers and gyroscopes that are efficient in terms of time and computational complexity. The calibration process for both sensors is simple, does not require additional expensive equipment, and can be performed in the field before or between motion measurements. The methods rely on a small number of defined calibr...
متن کاملTracking the kinematics of caudal-oscillatory swimming: a comparison of two on-animal sensing methods.
Studies of locomotion kinematics require high-resolution information about body movements and the specific acceleration (SA) that these generate. On-animal accelerometers measure both orientation and SA but an additional orientation sensor is needed to accurately separate these. Although gyroscopes can perform this function, their power consumption, drift and complex data processing make them u...
