Developing A Benchmark Suite For The Evaluation Of Orientation Sensors, Kelly Waller
Developing A Benchmark Suite For The Evaluation Of Orientation Sensors, Kelly Waller
All Theses
This paper examines the problem with the lack of standardization through which MEMS orientation sensors are evaluated. These sensors are sold with data sheets that outline their performance, but lack the conditions under which the testing takes place. In this research, a testing apparatus was developed, and testing routines were designed to evaluate the different characteristics of orientation sensors under different motion conditions. Three orientation sensors, each in a different price range, were evaluated with the benchmark suite. The testing apparatus is a turntable that can precisely spin an orientation sensor via a stepper motor, and can record its exact …
