Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to determine sensor orientation. In the context of a method, the orientation of a sensor is predicted based on a predetermined dataset. The method also includes receiving information regarding a location of the sensor and information from which a gravity direction of the sensor is derivable. The method further includes determining a relative orientation of the sensor in relation to a frame of reference and the gravity direction of the sensor. The method still further includes comparing the orientation of the sensor that was predicted and the relative orientation of the sensor to determine a prediction accuracy. The method finally includes updating the predetermined dataset based on the prediction accuracy of the sensor orientation.
