Wind sensor motion compensation systems and methods
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a logic device configured to receive one or more sensor signals and determine a sensor-motion compensated relative wind velocity, wherein the logic device is adapted to;
receive a wind sensor acceleration and a relative wind velocity from a wind sensor mounted to a vehicle, wherein the wind sensor comprises a wind sensor accelerometer configured to measure an acceleration of the wind sensor and provide the measured acceleration of the wind sensor as the wind sensor acceleration;
determine a wind sensor velocity from the wind sensor acceleration; and
determine the sensor-motion compensated relative wind velocity based, at least in part, on a combination of the wind sensor velocity and the relative wind velocity.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide wind sensor motion compensation for wind sensors mounted to moving platforms. A wind sensor motion compensation system may include a wind sensor, a wind sensor accelerometer, one or more additional sensors, actuators, controllers, user interfaces, and/or other modules mounted to or in proximity to a vehicle. The wind sensor motion compensation system may be implemented with one or more logic devices adapted to receive sensor signals and determine a sensor-motion compensated wind velocity. The logic devices may be adapted to receive a wind sensor acceleration and a relative wind velocity from a wind sensor, determine a wind sensor velocity from the wind sensor acceleration, and determine a sensor-motion compensated relative wind velocity from the wind sensor velocity and the relative wind velocity.
