An expanding suite of algorithms for fusing the outputs from Xtrinsic family of MEMS chips is designed to enable designers to develop sensor fusion algorithms from Freescale Semiconductor application notes or to license a sensor-hub software solution from motion algorithm specialists Movea Inc. "Sensor fusion covers a variety of techniques ranging from trading off the strengths of one sensor to compensate for weakness in another sensor [to] improving the quality and noise in computed results by using known data redundancies among sensors," said Mike Stanley, IC architect and systems engineer at Freescale (Austin, Texas).
