Reliability and Validation of an Inertial Sensor Used to Measure Orientation Angle

چکیده
This study examined the reliability and validity of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for measuring orientation angle. An IMU was mounted onto a goniometer and moved through 0-90° with data collected at 10° increments. The process was repeated 10 times for all 3 axes. Reliability was measured via a typical error (TE) analysis from the 10 repeated trials. Validity was determined via a Pearson correlation and an ordinary least products (OLP) regression. The IMU was very reliable for all 3 axes (TE: x=0.03°, y=0.03°, z=0.02°). The Pearson correlation between the IMU and goniometer was large and significant for all 3 axes (r = 1.00, 95%CI = 1.0-1.0). The OLP regression showed no proportional bias for the 3 axes and only small fixed bias for the x and z axes. Overall the IMU tested was very reliably and accurate at measuring orientation angle.

In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
