A Review of Accelerometer Sensor and Gyroscope Sensor in IMU Sensors on Motion Capture

Abstract

IMU is electronic devices that used on specific body, angular rate and sometimes magnetic fields surround the body, use combination of accelerometer sensor and gyroscopes sensor, sometimes magnetometer to but IMU usually just using accelerometer and gyroscope sensor. IMU Sensor usually used on aircraft maneuver include Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and space aircraft include landers and it's satellite. Accelerometer is an automatic tool for measuring acceleration, detecting and measuring vibration (vibration) and measuring acceleration due to the body (inclination). The accelerometer can be used to measure vibrations in cars, engines, buildings and security installations. Gyroscopes is device that mounted to a frame and can sensing an velocity of angular if that frame is rotate. There is some gyroscopes classes, depending on the operation physical and technology that involve.
