Abstract
Methods and systems for calibrating sensors on a computing device are described herein. In an example implementation, a computing device may perform a method to calibrate one or more sensors, which may include receiving an indication that a sensor has been calibrated. The computing device may further receive independent observations of a motion of a device from the calibrated sensor and a potentially non-calibrated sensor. The device may determine as independent estimation of motion based on the movement of the device corresponding to the outputs of the respective sensors. Based on whether or not the estimation of motion as provided by the potentially non-calibrated sensor is within a threshold variance of the estimation of motion as provided by the calibrated sensor, the computing device may provide instructions to adjust parameters of the non-calibrated sensor.
