An investigation is made into the errors in estimated
position that are caused by noise and drift effects in
stationary accelerometers. An analytical study is made into the
effects of biases in the accelerometer data and the effects of
changing the cut-off frequency in the anti-aliasing filter. The
root mean square errors in position are calculated as a function
of time and sampling frequency. A comparison is made between the
theoretical results and experimental data taken from two
commercial accelerometers. Recommendations are made regarding
the calibration of accelerometers prior to their use in
practical situations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
