Abstract

Systems and methods for navigation with magnetic field sensors are provided. For example, a system includes a magnetic gradient sensor that measures a magnetic gradient. The system also includes one or more inertial sensors that provide inertial measurements. Additionally, the system includes a magnetic field sensor that measures magnetic fields. Further, the system includes one or more processors that execute computer-readable instructions that direct the one or more processors to estimate a magnetic field based on the measured magnetic gradient and a velocity estimate from the inertial measurements. The computer-readable instructions also direct the one or more processors to calculate an error for the magnetic field and other navigation parameters using an additional magnetic field measurement from the magnetic field sensor.
