Questions tagged [imu]

Use the IMU tag for questions about writing software that interacts with Inertial Measurement Units.

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes, sometimes also magnetometers.

How to reconstruct the trajectory of a point from linear acceleration and angular velocity data?

I have generated two text files that hold the values for linear acceleration and angular velocity of a point, moving along a trajectory. The data is not from a device, but created by me. The code below extracts the data and assigns it to lists. How…

How do I calculate the maximum sptio-temporal resolution of an IMU sensor?

I am trying to calculate the trajectory of an IMU sensor by integrating the acceleration twice, but I keep getting distorted data. I would like to know what is maximal resolution I can actually produce from this sensor (MPU9250). The sensor is…

Filtering estimates of the orientation using optimization

I am trying to implement Algorithm 2 (p.38) from Kok et al. 2017, for calculating G_{t-1}, I need R tilda. It is explained as "a linearization point parametrized either as a unit quaternion or rotation matrix R tilda and an orientation deviation…

syncronizing frame capture with imu sensors

I am using a Jetson Xavier NXto capture frames from a USB camera using OpenCV. Then I implement a KCF tracker on the captured frames to track a certain object. In parallel I am sending the tracking data to an ESP32 capturing IMU data from an…

How to wrap events in the image plane using the the Rodrigues rotation algorithm?

I´m trying to replicate the ego-motion compensation done by the article "Dynamic obstacle avoidance for quadrotors with event cameras". I have the Imu data (only 3 angular velocities rad/sec: gx, gy, gz) and the events data (timestamp, coordinate x,…

How to detect orientation with accelerometer while vehicle has variable acceleration?

According to my research, I saw that, in order to detect the angular orientation AHRS uses gyro and accelerometer. Only gyro does not work well because of integration drift. Only accelerometer also does not work because of vibrations and vehicle…
