Abstract
Due to the need for providing low-cost, small-size, and high-reliability calibration solution around the clock independently, the Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a hot topic currently. In this paper, we propose a new calibration method based on MEMS IMU with the assistance of the FOG IMU. Different from the traditional MEMS IMU calibration, a Four-Position-and-Three-Rotation (FPTR) calibration sequence is designed in the conditions of lacking turntable. The simulation result shows that all 24 calibration parameters converge through the calibration rotation scheme. An experiment result of qualitative analysis is presented, by comparing the traditional method and proposed calibration method, which reveals the repeatability and stability of the proposed method. In practical applications, this FPTR calibration method can effectively reduce the calibration time and improve the experimental efficiency. In summary, the proposed method is suitable for the mass production calibration of MEMS IMU, and possesses the ability to calibrate full parameters of MEMS IMU at once without turntable or other devices. The research outcomes can provide a practical basis for MEMS IMU plus FOG IMU calibration.
