    Abstract: Magnetometer calibration is a pre-processing step in the Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) which has an essential role in many applications. The main purpose of this article is to derive an innovative and precise calibration approach for a magnetometer set installed on human body. To execute this calibration method, all the error parame... Show More

    Abstract: To ensure the public’s safety such as in buses, it is very important to accurately judge people’s behaviors and give early warnings. If by watching the video surveillance manually, the cost will be very high, and it cannot be effectively popularized, so video automatic monitoring is preferred. For buses, its environmental space is closed as well as... Show More
