Ten years ago low-cost but high-precision positioning options did not exist. But this has changed and the trend will continue. Outlined in this article are 3 options for satisfying positioning requirements using GNSS-based sensors.
Navigation Hardware
Accelerometer: Zero-g Offset Temperature Coefficient
Easily process IMU data from your browser using imuengine.io Accelerometer: Zero-g offset Temperature Coefficient Other Names bias thermal drift, offset temperature slope, offset or bias thermal response Examples Device Name Value Honeywell HG1120BA50 Bias Repeatability is given over both
Accelerometer: Zero-g Offset
Easily process IMU data from your browser using imuengine.io Other Names zero-g or 0g offset, bias, bias repeatability, turn-on to turn-on bias, zero-g output Examples Device Name Value Honeywell HG1120BA50 Bias Repeatability, at any given time or thermal condition
Accelerometer: Full Scale Range
Easily process IMU data from your browser using imuengine.io Other Names Full scale range (FSR), input range, dynamic range, measurement range, operating range Examples Device Name Value Honeywell HG1120BA50 Operating Range -16 to 16g CTi Sensors CS-IM100 Range selectable
Inertial Sensor Performance Parameters
Easily process IMU data from your browser using imuengine.io Navigation systems rarely have the benefit of directly measuring the information desired. The same can be said about the utility of navigation sensors. The desired state may be the position
Accelerometer Performance: 3, 6, or 9-Axis Sensors?
Easily process IMU data from your browser using imuengine.io Combined Functionality: What do you lose? There is a trend towards combining hardware components and even processors into single chips. This is certainly true for inertial sensors: * 3-axis: accelerometer only
