An Inclinometer System for Underground Spatial Orientation

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

An algorithm for taking a decision for an inclinometer system with structural redundancy, which enables a conclusion to be reached on the reliability of measurements based on the readings of a magnetometer or gyroscopic modules, is considered. The use of information on the existence of magnetic disturbances, signals from primary sensors and data on the latitude of the location are proposed as criteria of the choice of a reliable measurement.
