MATLAB: Calculate the resultant vector for 3 axis of data

code generationpythagorasvector

I have an 9 axis sensor and I have the data in matlab. I am wanting to calculate the resultant vector of acceleration, the resultant angular velocity for gyroscope.. and magnetometer.

In excel i would simply SQRT(accx^2+accy^2+accz^2) . this would be the resultant.

My question is how do i calculate this? Then, how do I automatically calculate this for every data point?

Thankyou!!

% some random data for demo 
accx = rand(10,1) ;   
accy = rand(10,1) ;   
accz = rand(10,1) ;   
R = sqrt(accx.^2+accy.^2+accz.^2) ;

MATLAB: Is it possible to get position data of an IMU 9D: Accelerometer / Gyroskop /Magnetometer without GPS

You can use the orientation data from the ahrsfilter to compute the gravity vector and derive a linear acceleration, however the filter models linear acceleration as zero-mean Gaussian noise. This is a common assumption when a GPS or similar is not included in the sensor setup. You should plan to operate the filter under those conditions.

However, in general, double integrating the accelerometer measurement (or the linear acceleration you intend to compute) is not a good way to compute position without the aid of some other sensor, like a GPS. MEMs accelerometers have some bias in their measurements. If you were to simply double integrate the measurement, then you would also be double integrating the accelerometer’s constant bias. The position you calculate would have an error that increases quadratically.

MATLAB: I have two column vectors of size 100×1, how to make a single vector of size 100×2 having two columns as the two column vectors

vec1 = rand(10,1) ;
vec2 = rand(10,1) ;
iwant = [vec1 vec2] ;

Please note after joining two vectors, it will be a matrix not a vector.
