Abstract

Most small drone accelerometer calibration methods are relatively simple, but their accuracy is not high. In order to improve the accuracy of calibration without increasing the difficulty of operation, a calibration method based on smooth filtering and Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the accelerometer error model is established. Then the smoothing filter is used to filter the accelerometer measurement data in different attitudes. Finally, the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to solve the zero offset of the accelerometer, the scale factor and the tri-axial non-orthogonal error. Experimental results show that the algorithm can quickly calibrate the accelerometer and improve the measurement accuracy of the accelerometer. It is suitable for application in the drone system.
