Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for aligning an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a system includes a sensor device configured to provide sensor data associated with an environment of the vehicle. The system further includes a sensor data processing module configured to process the sensor data to determine a ground plane and a vertical plane in the environment of the vehicle. The system further includes a correction module configured to determine at least one of a pitch and a roll alignment value based on the ground plane and the vertical plane.
