Today, advanced sensing applications in smart phones and automobiles frequently use sensor fusion. However, advanced industrial applications such as sophisticated robots also take advantage of this technology. Sensor fusion is actually a subcategory of data fusion and is also called multisensory data fusion or sensor-data fusion. For location sensing in smart phones the data from […]

Sensor Fusion of Twelve Inputs for Windows 8
At Sensors Expo 2012, Stephane Gervais-Ducouret, Director of Global Marketing for Freescale Semiconductor discusses sensor fusion software developed for Microsoft’s Windows 8. The software is demonstrated in a reference platform with 12 axes of sensor input information including 3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer as well as pressure, temperature and ambient light sensors. For more information […]
Flexible Sensor Fusion Solution for Motion Sensing
At Sensors Expo 2012, Ed Brachocki, director of marketing for Kionix explains the company’s sensor fusion software to Sensors Tips senior editor Randy Frank. The software suite runs either as a hardware solution on a microcontroller or as a software solution on an apps processor with a variety of 3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer inputs. […]
Sensor Fusion for Gesture Recognition using MEMS Sensors
Gang Xu, senior applications engineer for STMicroelectronics demonstrates the capabilities of motion software and inertial measurement unit (IMU)-equipped gloves to Sensor Tips senior editor Randy Frank at Sensors Expo 2012 in Chicago. Each of the gloves has a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis magnetometer. ST’s iNEMO sensor fusion software brings all the inputs […]
