Abstract:
1. A method of calculating at least one sensor modelling coefficient for multiple sensor regions of operation, the method comprising: defining a first sensor region of operation and at least one further sensor region of operation; defining a first set of sensor modelling equations that comprise at least one sensor modelling coefficient for the first sensor region of operation, and at least one further set of sensor modelling equations that comprise at least one sensor modelling coefficient for the at least one further sensor region of operation; calculating the at least one sensor modelling coefficient for the first sensor region of operation; deriving at least one derivative equation for the at least one further sensor region of operation based at least partly on at least one defined inter-region boundary constraint, the first set of sensor modelling equations, and the at least one further set of sensor modelling equations; calculating the at least one sensor modelling coefficient for the at least one further sensor region of operation based at least partly on the at least one derivative equation; and storing the calculated coefficient for the first sensor region and the calculated coefficient for the at least one further sensor region in a sensor system for converting a digitized sensor signal to an estimated sensor output signal.
