IMU Sensor Fusion
IMU sensor fusion combines data from multiple sensors—such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and sometimes magnetometers—to accurately determine an object's position, orientation, and movement. Each sensor has strengths and weaknesses; for example, accelerometers measure linear motion but are noisy over time, while gyroscopes track rotational movement but can drift. Sensor fusion algorithms intelligently blend these signals, mitigating individual limitations, resulting in a more reliable and precise understanding of motion. This technology is essential in applications like drones, smartphones, and autonomous vehicles, enabling smooth, stable, and accurate navigation and control.
