Novel algorithm for tilt measurements using MEMS accelerometers

A novel algorithm for determining pitch and roll under static or quasi-static conditions is presented. It is based on application of a triaxial micromachined accelerometer for the necessary measurements. In order to obtain a possibly high accuracy, a simple data fusion is applied. Depending on the n...
