A Novel Parallel Processing Model for Noise Reduction and Temperature Compensation of MEMS Gyroscope
Abstract
To eliminate the noise and temperature drift in an Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) gyroscope’s output signal for improving measurement accuracy, a parallel processing model based on Multi-objective particle swarm optimization based on variational modal decomposition-time-frequency peak filter (MOVMD–TFPF) and Beetle antennae search algorithm- Elman neural network (BAS–Elman NN) is established. Firstly, variational mode decomposition (VMD) is optimized by multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO); then, the best decomposition parameters [kbest,abest] can be obtained. Secondly, the gyroscope output signals are decomposed by VMD optimized by MOPSO (MOVMD); then, the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) obtained after decomposition are classified into a noise segment, mixed segment, and drift segment by sample entropy (SE). According to the idea of a parallel model, the noise segment can be discarded directly, the mixed segment is denoised by time-frequency peak filtering (TFPF), and the drift segment is compensated at the same time. In the compensation part, the beetle antennae search algorithm (BAS) is adopted to optimize the network parameters of the Elman neural network (Elman NN). Subsequently, the double-input/single-output temperature compensation model based on the BAS-Elman NN is established to compensate the drift segment, and these processed segments are reconstructed to form the final gyroscope output signal. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of this parallel processing model; the angle random walk of the compensated gyroscope output is decreased from 0.531076 to 5.22502 × 10−3°/h/√Hz, and its bias stability is decreased from 32.7364°/h to 0.140403°/h, respectively.
