Physics Asked by Roy K on March 15, 2021
I’m currently using mobile device accelerometer+gyro+magnetometer attitude to get roll, pitch, and yaw. However, yaw is drifting and becoming not accurate over time.
I read there is a way to calculate the yaw using a combination of accelerometer and magnetometer that will keep yaw accurate with a compensation for the constant drift, however, I haven’t yet found a working formula.
Any idea?
UPDATE
I could compensate the yaw drift by using the following formula:
Create initial reference point (fixed world frame reference) using magnetometer:
m_w = (m_x,m_y,m_z)
Take current magnetomer point (also fixed world frame reference) using magnetometer:
n_w = (n_x,n_y,n_z)
Convert projected reading to angles
a = atan2(m_z,m_x)
b = atan2(n_z,n_x)
Yaw drift can be calculated as follows
y_d = (a-b) * 180 / PI
Now deduct result from current accelerometer yaw.
WALLA!
On Earth, you can assume that the geomagnetic field is locally uniform and constant, pointing to South, and horizontal. Happily, a magnetometer can be used to measure this magnetic field: knowing its direction on the magnetometer frame of reference, you can derive the orientation of the magnetometer, ie. you can find yaw.
