Sensor fusion for magneto-inductive navigation

Magneto-inductive navigation is an inexpensive and easily deployable solution to many of today’s navigation problems. By utilizing very low frequency magnetic fields, magneto-inductive technology circumvents the problems with attenuation and multipath that often plague competing modalities. Using triaxial transmitter and receiver coils, it is...
