Research on Time-series Modeling and Filtering Methods for MEMS Gyroscope Random Drift Error

The precision of MEMS gyroscope is reduced by random drift error. This paper applied time series analysis to model random drift error of MEMS gyroscope. Based on the model established, Kalman filter was employed to compensate for the error. To overcome the disadvantages of conventional Kalman filter, Sage-Husa adaptive filtering algorithm was utilized to improve the accuracy of filtering results and the orthogonal property of innovation in the process of filtering was utilized to deal with outliers. The results showed that, compared with conventional Kalman filter, the modified filter can not only enhance filter accuracy, but also resist to outliers and this assured the stability of filtering thus improving the performance of gyroscopes.
