    Plotting Vehicle Path Based on Accelerometer Readings

    Thanks for all of your help. You're right, the data is very noisy - even with continuous smoothing. I'm currently tinkering with a method whereby I reduce the magnitude of the velocity vector at certain intervals to correct for some of the drift. We'll see how it goes. Thanks again.

    Plotting Vehicle Path Based on Accelerometer Readings

    Thanks for the info. I agree it may be impossible, given noise of the data, but I'd like to try. I've never used a Kalman filter before, so I'm unsure how I would go about applying one to my data (there isn't some simple set of steps I can encode into a computer function, is there?) I...

    Plotting Vehicle Path Based on Accelerometer Readings

    There's a problem I've been working on for a few days that I can't seem to resolve: There is a model train going around a set track with a 2-D accelerometer mounted along the axis of the train. The accelerometer provides the current x/y acceleration values at a frequency of about once...
