Inertial Measurement Unit Calibration Platform

چکیده
The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Avionics Engineering Center at Ohio University are developing an electromechanical system for the calibration of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) using global positioning system (GPS) antennas. The GPS antennas and IMU are mounted to a common platform to be oriented in the angular roll, pitch, and yaw motions. Vertical motion is also included to test the systems in a vibrational manner. A four-dof system based on the parallel Carpal Wrist is under development for this task. High-accuracy positioning is not required since the GPS technology provides absolute positioning.

A Novel System-Level Calibration Method for Gimballed Platform IMU Using Optimal Estimation
An accurate calibration of inertial measurement unit errors is increasingly important as the inertial navigation system requirements become more stringent. Developing calibration methods that use as less as possible of IMU signals has 6-DOF gimballed IMU in space-stabilized mode is presented. It is considered as held stationary in the test location incorporating 15 di...

This article presents a method for calibration of inertial sensors (gyroscopes and accelerometers). In the proposed selfcalibration method, interacted extended Kalman filter and maximum likelihood estimator are applied for estimation of motion state parameters and calibration parameters (biases and scaling factors), respectively. The extended Kalman filter is employed to estimate nonlinear Gaus...

An approach for calibrating a low-cost IMU is studied, requiring no mechanical platform for the accelerometer calibration and only a simple rotating table for the gyro calibration. The proposed calibration methods utilize the fact that ideally the norm of the measured output of the accelerometer and gyro cluster are equal to the magnitude of applied force and rotational velocity, respectively. ...
