ABSTRACT
鈥淭he Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is an electronic unit which records angular velocity and linear acceleration data which is fed into a central processing unit for data interpreting and logging. The unit constitutes of two independent sensors. The first sensor is the 3-axis gyroscope and second sensor is the 3-axis accelerometer. The IMU should also have a data interpreter that can draw the track it went through. This should enable the engineers to calculate the co-ordinates, based on longitude and latitude measures. To improve the effectiveness of the device, the device could possibly be designed to transfer the data wirelessly using Bluetooth technology to the nearby data logging machine, which can simultaneously calculate the algorithms to figure the correct of the vessel piping system.
