What sensors are in an IMU?

An IMU is a specific type of sensor that measures angular rate, force and sometimes magnetic field. IMUs are composed of a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope, which would be considered a 6 axis IMU. They can also include an additional 3-axis magnetometer, which would be considered a 9 axis IMU.

What data does IMU give?

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) measures and reports raw or filtered angular rate and specific force/acceleration experience by the object it is attached to. Data outputs for an IMU are typically body-frame accelerations, angular rates and (optionally) magnetic field measurements.

How do I choose an IMU sensor?

Some of the aspects we have to consider when we have to select an IMU are performance, underlying technology, SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) and Cost. Besides, another important factor in UAVs is the ruggedness of the IMU. In harsh UAV applications, vibrations can reach a high level and different temperatures.
