This presentation details a fast algorithm for measuring magnetic declination in precision engineering surveys, overcoming electronic compass inaccuracies from environmental interference. It covers problem challenges, geomagnetic theory, GNSS-IMU-compass fusion methodology with multi-scale estimation and least-squares correction, experimental setup in complex terrain, results showing stable declination (e.g., ±0.33° vs. WMM) and 0.03m coordinate precision, plus innovations for inertial navigation applications.

Slide 4 - Key Challenges

  • Magnetic declination (D): Angle between magnetic north and true north, varies regionally due to environment and sensor factors
  • Causes large fluctuations in true magnetic declination values
  • Degrades electronic compass heading accuracy in inertial navigation
  • Critical for precision engineering: aviation, surveying, mining, geophysics
  • Requires rapid, site-specific correction to achieve sub-meter coordinate precision

StepDescription
1Preprocess GNSS/IMU data: geodetic to Gauss-Krüger plane coordinates (N,E,H)
2Compute true north β = arctan((yb - ya)/(xb - xa)) from vectors
3Attitude angles: γ=acos(accy / accz), θ=asin(acc_x)
4Magnetic north: Hx = Mx cosγ + ... , Hy = My cosθ - Mz sinθ; Φ = arctan(Hy / Hx)
5Sample at 45°,135°,225°,315°; check diff<3°, range≤3°
6Least squares magnetic field correction; adaptive outlier rejection
7Multi-scale fusion for precise declination D = Φ - β

Slide 8 - True North vs. Magnetic North Calculation

True North Azimuth (β) Gauss-Krüger plane coords A(xa,ya), B(xb,yb) β = arctan( (yb - ya) / (xb - xa) ) Vector angle from horizontal; minimizes projection error

Magnetic North Azimuth (Φ) Attitude: γ=acos(accy/accz), θ=asin(acc_x) Hx = Mx cosγ + My sinγ sinθ + Mz sinγ cosθ Hy = My cosθ - Mz sinθ Φ = arctan(Hy / Hx) Least squares correction for environment adaptability
