Method for evaluating sensor data, computing unit for evaluating sensor data and sensor system
A method for evaluating sensor data. In the method, firstly, raw sensor data and/or processed sensor data from at least one sensor are input and measurement data determined from the raw sensor data and/or the processed sensor data. The measurement data are then corrected on the basis of a mathematical model, wherein, on correction, drift of the raw sensor data and/or of the processed sensor data is determined and removed from the measurement data. The corrected measurement data are furthermore output.
1 . A method for evaluating sensor data, the method comprising the following steps:
inputting raw sensor data and/or processed sensor data from at least one sensor;
determining measurement data from the raw sensor data and/or the processed sensor data;
correcting the measurement data based on a mathematical model, wherein the measurement data is corrected either when a check of a change in a sensor alignment reveals that the sensor alignment has changed or when a check of an intensity of a sensor movement reveals that an intensity of the sensor movement exceeds a predetermined value, and wherein, on correction, drift of the raw sensor data and/or of the processed sensor data is determined and removed from the measurement data; and
outputting the corrected measurement data.
2 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein a speed of movement of the sensor is determined from the raw sensor data and/or the processed sensor data.
3 . The method as recited in claim 2 , wherein the speed of movement of the sensor is corrected on correction of the measurement data by a speed gradient being set to zero.
4 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the raw sensor data and/or the processed sensor data are checked as to whether a temporally persistent acceleration of the movement of the sensor is present and the measurement data are corrected when no temporally persistent acceleration of the movement of the sensor is present.
5 . A method for evaluating sensor data, the method comprising the following steps:
