Abstract

Abstract Ferromagnetic interferential field from platforms is one of the most dominating error sources for magnetometer. For magnetic vector and gradient tensor measurement, what is cared about most is the effect of compensating magnetic field vector. In this paper, a magnetic compensation method is proposed, which uses host platform’s attitude from inertial sensor as auxiliary information and sets up a vectorial compensation model. By introducing three intermediate parameters, the issue of parameter estimation is linearized and solved with least squares method. Simulations show that errors of magnetic field vector and magnitude can both be reduced to several nT after compensation. Experiment has been conducted with a geomagnetic vector measurement system and results suggest that the method is an effective way for compensating both magnetic field magnitude and vectors.
