    IMU and GPS fusion algorithm principle - Ericco Inertial ...
    IMU data fusion combines accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer data to overcome individual sensor inaccuracies like drift and noise. Key methods include Kalman filters (EKF, UKF) for probabilistic, optimal tracking, Complementary filters for simple, computationally efficient filtering, and Madgwick/Mahony algorithms for fast orientation estimation using quaternions .
    Common IMU Data Fusion Algorithms
    • Kalman Filters (KF) / Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) : The industry standard for fusing IMU with external sensors (GPS/GNSS) or for tracking complex states like orientation, velocity, and bias. EKF linearizes non-linear models to provide reliable, real-time results.
    • Complementary Filter : A computationally efficient method combining high-pass filtered gyroscope data (good for fast, short-term motion) with low-pass filtered accelerometer/magnetometer data (good for long-term orientation stability).
    • Madgwick and Mahony Filters : Popular, computationally lightweight algorithms that use quaternion representations and gradient descent (Madgwick) to compute orientation, often outperforming Kalman filters on microcontrollers.
    • Factor Graph Optimization (FGO) : An emerging technique offering better global consistency and robustness compared to traditional filter-based methods.
    Key Fusion Methods and Applications
    • MARG Fusion (Magnetic, Angular Rate, and Gravity): Combines 9-axis sensors (3-axis gyro, 3-axis accel, 3-axis mag) to provide absolute heading and full 3D orientation.
    • IMU/GPS Integration: Uses Kalman filters to correct long-term drift of the IMU with precise, low-frequency absolute positioning from GPS.
    • Multiple IMU Fusion: Combines data from multiple, low-cost MEMS sensors in a virtual frame (VIMU) to reduce random noise and improve accuracy through averaging or complex, cascaded filtering.
    • Application Areas: Autonomous driving, UAV flight control, pedestrian navigation (gait tracking), and wearable technology.
    Data Pre-processing and Calibration
    Before fusion, data must be calibrated to remove sensor-specific errors:
    • Bias and Scale Factor Removal: Compensation for constant offsets in sensor readings.
    • Transformation: Mapping raw measurements from multiple IMUs onto a common, shared coordinate frame (virtual frame).
    • Noise Filtering: Utilizing Gaussian white noise models to mitigate high-frequency, random sensor noise.
