OptoAHRS-II - Optically Enhanced Attitude & Heading Reference System

Product Details

Developed by Inertial Labs, the Optically-enhanced Attitude and Heading Reference System – OptoAHRS-II is a small size, lower power consumption, precise North-finding and North-keeping system. It combines technologies of inertial sensors with optical image tracking resulting in a robust and reliable 3DOF orientation module capable of operation in virtually any environment.

OptoAHRSTM-II works through the use of reference images. A reference image can be any picture of the horizon or nearby environment in a single direction. Within the reference image, the system identifies a constellation of visual features. From any subsequent image collected by the camera, heading is determined by comparing the new constellation of features back to that of the appropriate reference.
