Modeling and compensation of MEMS gyroscope output data based on support vector machine

The modeling and compensation method of the angular rate error of MEMS gyro MG31-300. based on support vector machine, is described in this paper. Reference angular rates were generated by the single-axis rate turntable. The output data of MG31-300 under different input angular rates were collected and analyzed. Considering the nonlinear and random characteristics of the angular rate error, the support vector machine model is established, which uses the output voltage of gyro as the input and provides angular rate error as the output. The resolution of the angular rate error is improved by this modeling method. The result shows that the fitting error of the model was 0.0701 degrees/s (1 sigma). Finally, within MG31-300 measuring range (-300 degrees/s to 300 degrees/s), some testing points besides the training samples were selected to testify and verify the model. The results indicate that, the support vector machine model has high precision and good generalization ability. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
