Hello!
I want to use MEMS accelerometer to align panoramas obtained from 360-panoramic camera. I need g-vector orientation measurement precision about 0.1 degrees. I know that bias instabilty affects precision, but I don't know how to convert values specified in datasheet to actual measurement error in degrees.
Are there any random fluctuations in accelerometer bias at a constant temperature? If it exist how much is it in degrees? I don't want to periodically recalibrate accelerometer.
Is there any application note for BMI160?

Hello avv,
Do you mean you align panoramas obtained from 360-panoramic camera only with accelerometer , without gyroscope? If yes, could we know how you align it?

Yes, only with accelerometer. This is horizontal alignment.
I find the orientation of a g-vector in IMU coordinate system by three components x, y, z. Of course the camera is motionless at that moment. By orientation I mean rotation matrix. Then I rotate the panorama stretched over the sphere and for that I use rotation matrix obtained before.

Hello avv,
The unit of acceleration is g, i.e. 9.8m/s², which cannot be converted into degrees unit. The unit of gyroscope is degrees per second.

I'am about orientation of module in space. Euler angles are measured in degrees and can be obtained from accelerations.
