Abstract
The three-component magnetic sensor is used to measure the heading of the vehicle. Under working, the magnetic sensor be rotated to the horizontal plane according to the attitude angle of the vehicle, and then the heading estimation is performed. However, the vehicle’s attitude angle measurement errors affect the accuracy of the magnetic sensor measurement’s east and north components and then lead to a false heading result. Based on the relation of magnetic field measurement error and magnetic heading error, the effect model of geomagnetic measurement error on magnetic heading error is derived in this paper. Finally, the characteristics of attitude angle errors on magnetic heading are verified by experiments, and the results show that particular angles can avoid the magnetic compass’s effect by the vehicle’s attitude angle error.
