Magneto-Inertial Method for Determining the Relative Position and Orientation of an Object

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

We describe a method for determining the position and orientation of an object in a varying magnetic field generated by two flat coils which are arranged horizontally in one plane. We present an algorithm for computing position and orientation of a measurement unit, consisting of a three-axis alternating magnetic field sensor, and a microelectromechanical (MEMS) accelerometer.
