A two-step self-calibration method for three-axis field sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A self-calibration method was proposed to compensate the drawback generated by classic ellipsoid fitting algorithm. In this paper magnetometers and accelerometers were chosen to obtain geomagnetic field and gravitational field for TRIAD algorithm. The first step is using the classic ellipsoid fitting to calibrate the magnetic vector, which is taken as an internal reference in the second step. Due to the direction the geomagnetic vector and gravity vector are relatively invariant; therefore the projection of geomagnetic vector on gravitational vector is a constant value. The second step is using projection method to calibrate accelerometer. At last, both simulation and experiment were taken to prove the accuracy of the calibration method.

In a strapdown magnetic compass, heading angle is estimated using the Earth's magnetic field measured by Three-Axis Magnetometers (TAM). However, due to several inevitable errors in the magnetic system, such as sensitivity errors, non-orthogonal and misalignment errors, hard iron and soft iron errors, measurement noises and local magnetic fields, there are large error between the magnetometers'...

We present an extension of the non-linear two-step estimation algorithm originally developed for the calibration of solid-state strapdown magnetometers. We expand the algorithm to include nonorthogonality within a sensor set for both two and three axis sensors. Non-orthogonality can result from manufacturing issues, installation geometry, and in the case of magnetometers, soft iron bias errors....
