Magnetic Field Sensors’ Calibration: Algorithms’ Overview and Comparison

The calibration of three-axis magnetic field sensors is reviewed. Seven representative algorithms for in-situ calibration of magnetic field sensors without requiring any special piece of equipment are reviewed. The algorithms are presented in a user friendly, directly applicable step-by-step form, a...
