Abstract
Magnetic field measurement by a set of magnetometers which are linked to a same moveable support and which have different orientations of eigendirections with respect to this support A processor determines, during a measurement in a given position and orientation of the support and of the set of magnetometers, for each magnetometer, of the orientation deviation between the eigendirections of the magnetometer and a candidate magnetic field, the magnetometer for which this deviation is minimal, the magnetic field measured by this sensor being selected as the magnetic field measured by the set of magnetometers. The magnetometers are distributed in space in order to cover a maximum of different orientations.
