Error-Compensation Method for Inclination Measurement Under the Influence of the Dynamic Interference

Abstract

To deal with the problem of the inclination measurement errors caused by the dynamic motions, such as rotational and accelerated rectilinear components, this paper puts forward an effective inclination measurement scheme and the corresponding error-compensation method based on one accelerometer and two gyroscopes. In addition, the principle prototype of the dynamic inclination measurement apparatus is set up to conduct experiments of turntable rotation test, trolley test, and the turntable sway test at different inclined angles, thus verifying the feasibility of the error-compensation method under the effects of the rotational motion, accelerated rectilinear motion or both motions at the same time. Experimental results show that the aforementioned method can effectively compensate the inclination measurement errors resulting from the rotational and accelerated rectilinear motions.
