Abstract
In land platform navigation, many systems as Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) are used to get the position and the orientation solutions. Magnetometers are complementary sensors used in the navigation algorithms to achieve heading information based on utilizing Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) model. However, low-cost magnetometers decrease the precision of the navigation system due to their inherent errors. Thus, a calibration process should be conducted as a first step to compensate the deterministic errors. This paper proposes a method to calibrate a three-axis magnetometer using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) model. The improved PSO represents the main contribution of the proposed method, which allows the determination of the calibration parameters for each magnetometer data, and the IGRF model is used to determine the true total Earth's Magnetic Field (EMF) in each time step. In this work, we compare the precision of the standard PSO against the proposed method which provides higher robustness by achieving a better compensation of the errors effects (hard and soft iron, etc.). Since the hard and soft iron are the most significant errors in a Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based low-cost magnetometers, the proposed method aims to compensate these errors with a minimal error relative to the reference EMF. Several tests have been made to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The raw measurements of a MEMS-based on the low-cost magnetometer have been collected in Montreal (Canada) using a real car in different environments (under high-voltage lines, city center, highway, tunnel, etc.) full of distortion sources for the magnetic field. The proposed method always gets a better accuracy and precision even in a harsh environment for a low-cost magnetometer.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
