    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for calibrating a gyrometer equipping a vehicle. The method includes a step (a) of acquisition, by the gyrometer, of a measured angular velocity of the vehicle, and, by measuring measured values of at least one quantity representative of the angular velocity of the vehicle. It also includes a step (b) of determination, by a data processor, of values of at least one gyrometer calibration parameter minimising a difference between a first estimated angular velocity of the vehicle and a second estimated angular velocity of the vehicle, wherein the first estimated angular velocity is a function of the measured angular velocity and parameters for calibrating the gyrometer, and the second estimated angular velocity is a function of the measured values of said at least one quantity representative of the angular velocity of the vehicle.

    摘要: Magnetic field measurement by a set of magnetometers which are linked to a same moveable support and which have different orientations of eigendirections with respect to this support A processor determines, during a measurement in a given position and orientation of the support and of the set of magnetometers, for each magnetometer, of the orientation deviation between the eigendirections of the magnetometer and a candidate magnetic field, the magnetometer for which this deviation is minimal, the magnetic field measured by this sensor being selected as the magnetic field measured by the set of magnetometers. The magnetometers are distributed in space in order to cover a maximum of different orientations.

    摘要: A method for the determination of heading by magnetic sensors, in which a magnetic field is measured by magnetometers and using recursive processing calculating for a given sampling time. An estimation of a heading prediction which is a function of the heading is determined at the preceding sampling time. A resetting of the predicted heading is then estimated as a function of a magnetic heading determined from magnetometer measurements. During the resetting, the calculating estimates the amplitude of the resetting as a function of a model of the change in magnetic disturbances between two sampling times, and of an a priori estimation of the amplitude of the disturbances.
