Abstract
A system for improving azimuth accuracy of a Line Of Sight (LOS) by adjusting an azimuth value obtained from one or more magnetometer based inertial sensors according to the sun position, comprising one or more magnetometer based inertial sensors, one or more imaging sensors, one or more location sensors and one or more processors coupled to the sensors. The processor(s) is adapted to execute a code comprising code instructions to: obtain location, elevation and time from the location sensor(s), obtain a sensor based azimuth value of a LOS of the imaging sensor(s) from the magnetometer based inertial sensor(s), obtain image(s) depicting the sun captured by the imaging sensor(s), calculate an actual azimuth value of the LOS according to the location, elevation and time with respect to a center of the sun computed by analyzing the image(s) and adjust automatically the sensor based azimuth value according to the actual azimuth value.
