Systems and methods for calibrating multiple inertial measurement units on a system include calibrating a first of the inertial measurement units relative to the system using a first calibration model, and calibrating the remaining inertial measurement unit(s) relative to the first inertial measurement unit using a second calibration model. The calibration of the remaining inertial measurement unit(s) to the first inertial measurement unit can be based on a rigid body model by aligning a rotational velocity of the first inertial measurement unit with a rotational velocity of the remaining inertial measurement unit(s).
