I am trying to use ZR300 to run VINS-Mono(https://github.com/HKUST-Aerial-Robotics/VINS-Mono). I find that the output of the imu date topic:/camera/imu/data_raw has not been calibrated.
Then I get the calibration information of IMU data ZR300 ROS driver(https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense_samples_ros/tree/kinetic-devel/realsense_ros_camera), the output of topic /camera/accel/imu_info is like this:
data: [1.0236904621124268, 0.0, 0.0, -0.0455622673034668, 0.0, 1.0147671699523926, 0.0, 0.14746201038360596, 0.0, 0.0, 0.9979372620582581, -0.41241949796676636]
noise_variances: [0.14709974825382233, 0.14709974825382233, 0.14709974825382233]
bias_variances: [9.999999747378752e-05, 9.999999747378752e-05, 9.999999747378752e-05]

I think this 12-dimensions matrix is the calibration info. It can be rewritten like this:
data: [ 1.0236904621124268, 0.0, 0.0, -0.0455622673034668,
0.0, 1.0147671699523926, 0.0, 0.14746201038360596,
0.0, 0.0, 0.9979372620582581, -0.41241949796676636]
It looks like a Homogeneous transformation matrix. So I use it to calibrate the accel data[accel_x, accel_y,accel_z]'. I'm not sure how to do it. I try a reasonable way:
calibrated_accel_x= (accel_x-(-0.0455622673034668))*1.0236904621124268
the other two axes are calibrated in the same way. But it doesn't work. Actually, I have tried all possible combinations to calibrate the raw data. None of them provide a reasonable result.

So is this calibration information of IMU reliable? Is there any SDK to calibrate the raw imu data?
