Abstract

A method for calibrating an orthogonal sensor suite includes the steps of imparting on the sensor suite a series of known accelerations at orientations known relative to each other, while recording readings from the sensors from each acceleration at each orientation. This data is used to create a transformation matrix which removes offsets from each sensor and removes any cross-coupling of the sensors.
