Overview
The Ellipse 2 Micro IMU from SBG Systems is an Inertial Measurement Unit that includes three gyroscopes, three accelerometers, three magnetometers and a temperature sensor. This device is suitable for land, marine and aerospace applications.
When used for land applications, fusion with an odometer and a GNSS receiver enables robust position in all conditions (forests, tunnels, urban canyons, etc.). The unit also has specific motion algorithms dedicated to land vehicles and supports the CAN Protocol.
For marine applications, the micro sensor provides a 5 cm heave that is adjusted automatically to the wave period. Fusion with a GNSS receiver provides a robust position and heave in all conditions.
Aerospace applications benefit from the calibration that is done from -40 °C to +85 °C for a constant behavior in all environments. The unit also has high resistance to shock and vibrations (< 2,000 g), while fusion with a GNSS receiver provides high accuracy position and heading.
A development kit consisting of Windows based software and an evaluation board allows for easy integration to your systems.
The software offers real-time data visualization and easy configuration through motion profiles, data Analysis by zooming through time, and export to Excel, Matlab and Google Earth formats.
