Understanding Sensor Fusion and Tracking, Part 2: Fusing a Mag, Accel, & Gyro Estimate

Check out the other videos in this series: Part 1 - What Is Sensor Fusion?: Part 2 - Fusing an Accel, Mag, and Gyro to Estimation Orientation: Part 3 - Fusing a GPS and IMU to Estimate Pose: Part 4 - Tracking a Single Object With an IMM Filter: Part 5 - How to Track Multiple Objects at Once: This video describes how we can use a magnetometer, accelerometer, and a gyro to estimate an object’s orientation. The goal is to show how these sensors contribute to the solution, and to explain a few things to watch out for along the way. We’ll cover what orientation is and how we can determine orientation using an accelerometer and a magnetometer. We’ll also talk about calibrating a magnetometer for hard and soft iron sources and ways to deal with corrupting accelerations. We’ll also show a simple dead reckoning solution that uses the gyro
