Abstract:
Magnetometers are essential components of any reliable Attitude and Heading Reference System.
The advent of low-cost MEMS based sensor technology made their use more widespread than ever with applications ranging from hobbyist drones to automotive industry.
Most low-cost MEMS magnetometers available on the market fall into consumer grade sensors.
This makes the need for simple calibration techniques more relevant as it provides a means of trading cost for improved performance and accuracy.
In this thesis, a MATLAB-based method for magnetometer calibration is proposed and discussed along with experimental data and possible applications.
