چکیده

____________________________________________________________________ The calibration of accelerometers, angular rate sensors, and inertial measurement units (IMU) increases the accuracy of their measurements. For artillery rounds and most rockets, measurements are acquired while the body is spinning. By the comparison of the sensor output to known input, calibration is accomplished. Calibration requires a model of the sensor. The model represents the measurement process. Model selection, calibration equipment, and data selection affect the usefulness of a calibration for a given mission. Calibration is model fitting for a specific mission or class of missions.

Calibration of The Spatial Pose Between Inertial and Visual Sensors With An Inclinometer

An improved inertial and visual sensors calibration method is proposed in this paper, which is the method of fractional step to calibrate between inertial and visual sensors. The relationship of the rotation between inertial and vision sensors can be obtain by solving the improvement of hand-eye calibration equations. The inclinometer sensor is introduced in the process of calibration and the o...

Systematic Calibration for Ultra-High Accuracy Inertial Measurement Units

An inertial navigation system (INS) has been widely used in challenging GPS environments. With the rapid development of modern physics, an atomic gyroscope will come into use in the near future with a predicted accuracy of 5 × 10(-6)°/h or better. However, existing calibration methods and devices can not satisfy the accuracy requirements of future ultra-high accuracy inertial sensors. In this p...

Using Inertial Sensors in Smartphones for Curriculum Experiments of Inertial Navigation Technology

Inertial technology has been used in a wide range of applications such as guidance, navigation, and motion tracking. However, there are few undergraduate courses that focus on the inertial technology. Traditional inertial navigation systems (INS) and relevant testing facilities are expensive and complicated in operation, which makes it inconvenient and risky to perform teaching experiments with...

Inertial Sensor Error Reduction through Calibration and Sensor Fusion

This paper presents the comparison between cooperative and local Kalman Filters (KF) for estimating the absolute segment angle, under two calibration conditions. A simplified calibration, that can be replicated in most laboratories; and a complex calibration, similar to that applied by commercial vendors. The cooperative filters use information from either all inertial sensors attached to the b...
