Question

Accelerometer sensor automatically compensate for temperature

Hello,

the values of my accelerometer axes are affected by temperature changes and require calibration at each temperature.

What method should be used for compensation? How can Bias Drift and Scale Factor Drift be determined each time the temperature changes?

You haven't said what accelerometer you are using.

There should be temperature data in the datasheet?

I am using the LIS331 sensor and have attached the datasheet here.

So did you read the datasheet to find the temperature-related specification ?

It is your job as designer to study the datasheet ...
