This paper addresses accelerometer array calibration, focusing on determining the errors between multiple sensors. Micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) based triaxial accelerometers, key components of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), are used in localization, robotics, and navigation systems. The requirements of these applications necessitate low-cost sensors, which makes MEMS IMUs a reasonable choice. However, these low-cost IMUs are significantly affected by systematic (i.e., bias, misalignment, scale-factor) and random errors. Achieving reliable sensor output depends on the precision of the executed calibration method. While traditional laboratory-based sensor calibration using specialized equipment (i.e., three-axis turntable) is accurate, it is time-consuming and costly. In contrast, in-field calibration techniques, which can be performed using a mechatronic actuator or a robotic arm, have gained popularity. These techniques involve comparing sensor measurements to established reference values. The MEMS sensors are increasingly being used in multi-sensor applications, which demands not only individual sensor error calibration but also important to determine the axis misalignment between the used sensors. During calibration process, various optimization algorithms (e.g., GA, PSO) can also be used to find the error parameters. The proposed measurement system allows for individual calibration of misalignment, bias, and scale factor of the sensor array, and eliminates between-sensor misalignment errors.
