Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for stabilizing a series of measurements of a physical variable captured by a digital sensor. This method comprises the steps of: capturing at least a first measurement, a second measurement, and a third measurement of said physical variable and storing each measurement in a digital memory. The first and second measurements are compared and, if a difference between the first measurement and the second measurement is below a predetermined threshold, the second measurement is replaced in the memory by a corrected second measurement where the difference with respect to said first measurement has been reduced using a first filtering strength. The corrected second measurement and the third measurement are compared and, if a difference between the filtered value of the corrected second measurement and said third measurement is also below the threshold, said the third measurement is replaced by a corrected third measurement where a difference with respect to said corrected second measurement has been reduced using a second filtering strength that is lower than the first filtering strength. This method has the advantage of filtering noise while sti…
