The iNEMO engine sensor fusion suite from STMicroelectronics is the latest family of filtering and predictive software that uses algorithms to integrate outputs from multiple MEMS sensors. Real-time on-board motion-sensor data fusion is suitable for motion-based applications in consumer, computer, industrial and medical fields.
The iNEMO engine can be combined with the company's iNEMO inertial modules to create the complete and customisable hardware and software multi-axis MEMS sensor solutions for enhanced motion and heading recognition, claims the company.
Based on the Kalman Filter theory, the company's iNEMO engine software employs a set of adaptive prediction and filtering algorithms that make sense of all the complex information coming from multiple sensing devices, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, compasses, and pressure sensors.
The suite includes the iNEMO engine lite, a free software library for motion-detection system evaluation, and the iNEMO engine pro, a compiled software library with data-fusion algorithms for multiple sensor output processing, customisable for different operating systems and hardware platforms.
