Abstract
A new method for determining an attitude of a sensor with respect to a moving body is proposed. A movement vector is measured by a sensor mounted in the moving body. In addition, the attitude of the sensor with respect to the moving body is determined using the movement vector measured by the sensor when the moving body starts to move.
