Hello everybody,
I'm trying to get the best heading estimation of my phone. To be more precise, I'm only interested on the Azimuth value (angle from the north). the API offer ready to use function like TYPE_ORIENTATION (Deprecated): the result is shit :), it's very unstable and not very precise.. there is SensorManager.getOrienation(matrix,orient): So here android compute a matrix rotation based on the accel + magneto and then extract the orientation from the rotationmatrix, and the result is quit shit too.. Whenever my phone is near a magnetic perturbation the heading become completly wrong... I have read on this group that there is the TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR that fuse the accelerometer + compass. I have tried this and it's not too bad. It's sure, better that only using the accelerometer (+magneto) with .getOrientation but it's still not very accurate when the phone is near a magnetic perturbation.... There is the TYPE_GYROSCOPE that if you integrate the value by hand it gives you the actual angle, but this not very good because of the integration drift, and if my phone stand still on a table I can see the angle moving every seconds... So now my question is.. How can I fuse (Exactly like TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR does) the accelerometer with the gyroscope (+ compass why not)? That would be MOOOORE precise that fuse it with the compass no ?? Thank you ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
