Abstract
A calibration of an unmanned aerial vehicle is performed without the use of a magnetometer. The unmanned aerial vehicle generates a first acceleration vector in a navigation frame of reference and a second acceleration vector in a GPS frame of reference. The unmanned aerial vehicle estimates a heading of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the first acceleration vector and the second acceleration vector. The unmanned aerial vehicle performs a calibration based on the estimated heading of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
