Static Interval Magnetometer Calibrator
Collects accelerometer and magnetometer measurements by detecting periods when device remains static using the accelerometer, and using such static periods to collect magnetometer measurements to solve calibration parameters. This calibrator converts sensor measurements from device ENU coordinates to local plane NED coordinates. Thus, all values referring to a given x-y-z coordinates refers to local plane NED system of coordinates.

List of magnetometer measurements that have been collected so far to be used for magnetometer calibration. Items in return list can be modified if needed, but beware that this might have consequences on solved calibration result.
mapper to convert collected magnetometer measurements into quality scores, based on the amount of standard deviation (the larger the variability, the worse the score will be).
Confidence of estimated magnetometer calibration result expressed as a value between 0.0 and 1.0. By default 99% of confidence is used, which indicates that with a probability of 99% estimation will be accurate because chosen sub-samples will be inliers (in other terms, outliers will be correctly discarded). This property is only taken into account if a not-null magnetometerRobustMethod is specified.
Maximum number of iterations to attempt to find a robust magnetometer calibration solution. By default this is 5000. This property is only taken into account if a not-null magnetometerRobustMethod is specified.
Indicates robust method used to solve magnetometer calibration. If null, no robust method is used at all, and instead an LMSE solution is found.
Size of preliminary subsets picked while finding a robust magnetometer calibration solution. By default this is the minimumRequiredMagnetometerMeasurements, which results in the smallest number of iterations to complete robust algorithms. Larger values can be used to ensure that error in each preliminary solution is minimized among more measurements (thus, softening the effect of outliers), but this comes at the expense of larger number of iterations. This properly is only taken into account if a not-null magnetometerRobustMethod is specified.
Additional factor to be taken into account for robust methods based on LMedS or PROMedS, where factor is not directly related to LMSE, but to a smaller value. This only applies to magnetometer calibration.
Threshold to be used to determine whether a measurement is considered an outlier by robust magnetometer calibration algorithms or not. Threshold varies depending on chosen magnetometerRobustMethod. By default, if null is provided, the estimated magnetometerBaseNoiseLevel will be used to determine a suitable threshold. Otherwise, if a value is provided, such value will be used instead. This properly is only taken into account if a not-null magnetometerRobustMethod is specified.
Factor to be used respect estimated magnetometer base noise level to consider a measurement an outlier when using robust calibration methods. By default this is 3.0 times magnetometerBaseNoiseLevel, which considering the noise level as the standard deviation of a Gaussian distribution, should account for 99% of the cases. Any measurement having an error greater than tat in the estimated solution, will be considered an outlier and be discarded.
