Overview
The IMU products of Xsens also contain extra sensors, a 3D magnetometer (See MTi 1-series, MTi 10-series and MTi 100-series) and a static pressure sensor (MTi 100-series only).
In order to get accurate data from the IMU, it is necessary to have a good signal processing pipeline, optimized for the application. An accurate calibration of the MTi by Xsens provides a model of the internal sensors. When operational, the signal processing then consists of 3 blocks: sampling (at a high frequency), a carefully designed digital low pass filtering in order to prevent aliasing, application of the calibration model and Strapdown Integration (SDI) at 2 kHz. When this this entire signal processing pipeline is designed in a proper way, the data will have a high fidelity. Tests by Xsens confirm that this is the case for the MTi IMUs (contact Xsens for more information).
IMUs can serve as input for navigation systems (such as the MTi-G-710 GPS/INS) or included in stabilized platforms. Xsens can assist to determine which unit would best suit your needs.
