Calibration of low-cost triaxial magnetometer

Calibration of low-cost triaxial magnetometer

Heading angle of magnetic compasses is estimated using the triaxial magnetometer readings. The accuracy of these readings is influenced by many factors such as sensor errors (scale factors, non-orthogonality, and offsets), and magnetic deviations (soft-iron and hard-iron interference). To calculate...
