Details

Standardization/Calibration/normalization/relativizing of accelerometer and magnetometer data. The right-hand-rule indicates the orientation (polarity) of the magnetometers and accelerometers required for the pseudotrack reconstruction algorithm, so that when the front, top or left side of the tag is facing the earth, the accelerometers are at the maximal reading (+1) when the tag is not moving. A similar rule applies for the magnetometers except the maximal reading for each axis will be when the front, top or left side is facing north and at the angle of inclination of the magnetic field (the angle at which the magnetic field enters the earth) at that location on the planet. If the tag sensors conform to this rule all the orientation parameters should be 1, any sensors that are opposite to this should have -1 as an orientation value. Instead of labeling the tag in X,Y and Z dimensions, the directions are labeled as Surge, Heave and Sway where Surge indicates the front (anterior) to back (posterior) axis, the Heave is the top (dorsal) to bottom (ventral) axis and the Sway is the right to left (lateral) axis.

Value

Returns a [2,6] matrix with intercept in the first row and slope in the second row and columns in the order of the orientation parameter input. Row names are c("B0 Intercept","B1 Slope") and column names are c("MagSurge","MagHeave","MagSway","AccSurge","AccHeave","AccSway").
