Characterization of low-cost Accelerometers for Use in a Local Positioning System
Year: 2003
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The main goal of the project which this thesis is a part of, is to develop a system\nthat can to track hand movements within a restricted area. The last few years has\nseen the development of several different relatively cheap systems with the ability\nto track position, velocity and heading of a device. These systems are usually\nbased on ultrasound, electromagnetism or cameras with image recognition\ncapabilities. The camera based systems can only function if there is a clear line of\nsight to all of the cameras. Ultrasonic systems also need line of sight between\nreceiver and transmitter in order to achieve the wanted accuracy. The line-ofsight\nproblem can to some extent be solved by integrating inertial sensor\ncomponents into the system.
