How to calibrate the IMU from the Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera D435i, but not in a down facing position

Description

Is there a way to calibrate the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) from the Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera D435i in a down facing position?

Resolution

The Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera D435i can be calibrated using the Dynamic Calibration Tool (at least version 2.6.8). Please follow these instructions to install and run the application. 
The IMU can be calibrated using rs-imu-Calibration Tool 


Calibrating the IMU for a downward facing position will not be possible even when our calibration solution is ready. Our calibration for the IMU will calibrate it upright, that’s our configuration or expected configuration. You would have to do some compensations in software on your own to translate the data into downward facing looking camera.
