A Survey of Error Analysis and Calibration Methods for MEMS Triaxial Accelerometers

MEMS accelerometers are widely used in various fields due to their small size and low cost, and have good application prospects. However, the low accuracy limits its range of applications. To ensure data accuracy and safety we need to calibrate MEMS accelerometers. Many authors have improved accelerometer accuracy by calculating calibration parameters, and a large number of published calibration methods have been confusing. In this context, this paper introduces these techniques and methods, analyzes and summarizes the main error models and calibration procedures, and provides useful suggestions. Finally, the content of the accelerometer calibration method needs to be overcome.
