Abstract

Abstract : Micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) inertial sensors have advantages, including small size and low power consumption. The performances of Micro Inertial measurement unit (IMU), which is composed of MEMS inertial sensors, degrade, and error, will become larger in high dynamic environment. In order to solve the problem, a novel combined calibration method for compensating the deterministic error of MEMS sensors is proposed. Considering the rotation of different sensitive axes in high dynamic and low dynamic environment, the compounded calibration based on fuzzy neural network (FNN) is adopted to identify the coupling coefficients to eliminate the adverse coupling effects between different rotation axes. Furthermore, the self-developed Micro IMU and magnetometer are applied in attitude estimation system. Considering the large attitude error occurred in most cases, the approach utilizing the estimation of error quaternion vector could avoid the calculation error due to inaccurate modeling in the skew symmetric matrix that comprises attitude error vector components. The intelligent Kalman filter (IKF) based on complexity state equation of error quaternion is designed to improve the performance by adjusting the parameters of filter on line. The experimental results show that the proposed approach could have a higher level of stability and accuracy in comparison to other attitude estimation algorithms.
