Abstract
MEMS sensors are individually calibrated to reach a high sensing accuracy. For calibration certain measurement points are selected as reference and used to calculate the parameters of a calibration polynomial function. To minimize the calibration costs, MEMS sensor calibration should be performed using as few calibration points as possible. We propose a calibration approach which gives good accuracy with less measurement points. The approach combines a systematic calibration method with statistical parameter estimation, to find appropriate measurement points for calibration and minimize the number of calibration points. An experiment with a set of commercial barometric MEMS pressure sensors validates the proposed method for MEMS barometric pressure sensors.
