Kalman filter for ocean waves using IMU
A novel Kalman filter implementation for real-time ocean wave and boat motion estimation has been developed and validated using an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Utilizing an OU-Driven Quaternion MEKF framework, this open-source project, ‘ocean-imu’ (available on GitHub), provides calibrated estimates of boat heave and wave direction leveraging the atomS3R unit. This innovative approach offers researchers and practitioners a valuable tool for marine navigation and oceanographic data acquisition.
