IMUSensorModels

Written by: David Hanley

This repository contains a C++ class for IMU sensor modeling.

This models both deterministic and stochastic elements of individual elements of an IMU (i.e. individual accelerometers and gyroscopes). Cross coupling effects, g-sensitive bias, and vibro-pendulous errors are ignored since the input is only the error free sensor.

Deterministic modeling is based on:

D. Titterton and J. Weston. "Strapdown Inertial Navigation Technology." The Institution of Engineering and Technology. 2nd Edition. 2004.

Stochastic modeling is based on:

P. Petkov and T. Slavov. "Stochastic Modeling of MEMS Inertial Sensors." Cybernetics and Information Technologies. Vol. 10. No. 2. pp. 31-40. 2010.

We also include in both our Matlab and C++ code, options to use the IMU model described in the ETH Zurich ASL Kalibr package (https://github.com/ethz-asl/kalibr/wiki).
