DRIVE
April 22, 2026
A method for determining the orientation of a drone. The drone comprises a main body, a camera device with an attachment structure, and one or more MEMS gyroscopes on the camera device or the attachment structure. The method comprises retrieving one or more first measurement values from said one or more MEMS gyroscopes when the camera device is in a first position in relation to the main body of the drone, shifting the camera device from the first position to a second position in relation to the main body of the drone, retrieving one or more second measurement values from said one or more MEMS gyroscopes when the camera device is in the second position, and calculating the orientation of the drone based on at least the one or more first measurement values and the one or more second measurement values.
