Motion Tracking Accuracy

RESPONSE TIME IN INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT CONTROL ALGORITHMS

The Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) [1] is a cornerstone technology in various fields, ranging from aerospace to consumer electronics, where accurate motion tracking is paramount. Central to the effectiveness of an IMU is the quality of data processing, particularly in the context of filtering techniques. This study compares two filtering methods: Complementary Filters and Kalman Filters, in their application to IMU data processing. Complementary Filters, known for their simplicity and efficiency, contrast with the more complex but potentially more accurate Kalman Filters.
