Abstract

The purpose is to accurately and promptly calculate an error of a magnetic sensor. A sensor error calculating device may include a GNSS attitude angle calculating module, a GNSS geomagnetism calculating module, and an error estimating module. The GNSS attitude angle calculating module may calculate a GNSS attitude angle of a movable body based on positioning signals of a GNSS. The GNSS geomagnetism calculating module may calculate a GNSS geomagnetism based on the GNSS attitude angle. The error estimating module may estimate a sensitivity error, a misalignment error and a bias error of the magnetic sensor by using a magnetic detection value of the magnetic sensor and the GNSS geomagnetism.
