Magnetic Field Sensors' Calibration: Algorithms' Overview and Comparison

Sensors (Basel). 2021 Aug 5;21(16):5288. doi: 10.3390/s21165288.

Abstract

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, and are compared in terms of accuracy, computational efficiency and robustness using both real sensors' data and artificial data with known sensor's measurement distortion.

Keywords: algorithms; calibration; comparison; magnetic sensor; review.
