Thanks for your time for me. My query is on finding out the (X,Y) coordinate of an IMU (Using 6050 MPU) mounted object (Without any GPS).
While performing the task we are getting fluctuating acceleration data how can we resolve it?
It will also be very helpful if you suggest any other MPU for better performance.
Thank you
With regards,

Make sure you are using some sort of low-pass filter for the acceleration integration. You also want to ensure you properly calibrate the sensor. I cover calibration of the MPU6050 with the AK8963 magnetometer (MPU9250 package) in a recent tutorial:

I cover using a Butterworth filter for stabilizing the acclerometer output. I also show double integration of the acceleration to approximate displacement. The MPU6050 is a fairly good choice. There is also a more recent sensor (ICM-20948) which is considered a replacement for the MPU9250. Here is an example smoothed output of the calibrated and integrated acceleration:
