Abstract:

This paper presents a straightforward way to fully calibrate low-cost IMU sensor in field. In this approach, a plastic cube that is made by 3D printer is introduced as the body carrier of IMU. The accelerometer is firstly calibrated by using famous multi-position method and then followed with the correction of misalignment between sensor frame and body frame. A normal swivel chair is reformed as an easy turntable to perform smooth rotation. The gyroscope is calibrated by using angle domain method with the angular displacement reference that is estimated by using laser scan matching process. Experiment is executed and the comparison between raw readings and calibrated measurements is conducted, which verifies the validation of the proposed method.
