IMU Simulation

vkosuri · ‎2024-10-15

Hi All,

I am looking at a similar kind of https://www.aceinna.com/openimu simulator for inertia measurement(accelerator, gyro, magneto meeter) for character recognition.

I did search in this forum https://community.st.com/t5/mems-sensors/is-there-any-simulation-software-available-for-imu-sensors-where/m-p/314540#M13158 but I could see any response.

Advanced Thanks.

What do you mean by "simulator" here?

That's not a simulator - that's an actual Inertial Navigation Platform.

EDIT:

Did you mean to link to this page: https://openimu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/simulation.html ?

Maybe ask here: https://forum.aceinna.com/ ?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Thanks for the pointers, I looked into Matlab imuSesnor https://in.mathworks.com/help/nav/ref/imusensor-system-object.html, it is licensed. I am looking for an IMU sensor library similar to MatLabs imuSesor that simulates along with my Nucleo Board.

Little background I am working on a paper which recognizes English characters using an IMU sensor https://arxiv.org/pdf/2105.12434

My thought Instead of having a separate hardware can I achieve it through any STM32 libs will be an added advantage for my project. Any other suggestions/comments/thoughts are welcomed.

Many thanks.

So you are looking for a simulation.

How will a simulator help that?

Or, do you really want something to record IMU signals while people are writing, and then play that back into your "recogniser"?

Not sure how that would help?

Surely, it's a lot easier to have the simulator running on a PC or similar? Much easier to configure it, and tell it what you want it to simulate!

Yes

I am planning run that simulator on PC and record the IMU sensor data feed to CNN layer.

Hello @vkosuri,

It is an interesting project but I cannot really help you with that as I don't know anything related. Good Luck!

@Andrew Neil, thank you for your help!

Have a good day,

Julian
