Abstract

This paper introduces a simple and efficient calibration method for three-axis accelerometers and three-axis gyroscopes using three-axis motion rate table. Usually, the performance of low cost MEMS-based inertial sensors is affected by scale and bias errors significantly. The calibration of these errors is a bothersome problem, but the previous calibration methods cannot propose simple and efficient method to calibrate the errors of three-axis inertial sensors. This paper introduces a new simple and efficient method for the calibration of accelerometer and gyroscope. By using a three-axis motion rate table, this method can calibrate the accelerometer and gyroscope simultaneously and simply. Experimental results confirm the performance of the proposed method.
