A Calibration Technique for a Two - Axis Magnetic Compass in Telematics Devices Seong
ETRI Journal, Volume 27, Number 3, June 2005 This paper presents an efficient algorithm for using the two-axis magnetic compass in portable devices. The general magnetic compass module consists of a three-axis magnetic compass and a two-axis inclinometer to calculate tilt-compensated azimuth information. In this paper, the tilt error is compensated using just a two-axis magnetic compass and two...
متن کاملMEMS Based Pedestrian Navigation System
In this paper we present a micro-electrical mechanical system (MEMS) based pedestrian navigation system (PNS) for seamless positioning. The sub-algorithms for the PNS are developed and the positioning performance is enhanced using the modified receding horizon Kalman finite impulse response filter (MRHKF). The PNS consists of a biaxial accelerometer and a biaxial magnetic compass mounted on a s...
متن کاملThe Five Motion Senses: Using MEMS Inertial Sensing to Transform Applications
For instance, an accelerometer with activity detection can enable power management techniques by telling a device to go into the lowest power consumption mode when that device is determined to be inactive in the absence of movement or vibration. Complicated controls and physical buttons are being replaced by gesture-recognition interfaces controlled by the tap of a finger. In other use cases, t...
متن کاملApplications of Magnetic Sensors for Low Cost Compass Systems
A method for heading determination is described here that will include the effects of pitch and roll as well as the magnetic properties of the vehicle. Using solid-state magnetic sensors and a tilt sensor, a low-cost compass system can be realized. Commercial airlines today use attitude and heading reference systems that cost tens of thousands of dollars. For general aviation, or small private ...
متن کاملAutocalibration of an Electronic Compass for Augmented Reality
Electronic compass is often used to provide the absolute heading reference for tracking the user’s head and hands in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), especially for outdoor AR applications. However, compass is vulnerable to environment magnetism disturbance. Existing compass calibration methods require complex steps and true heading reference which is often impossible to be obta...
