A Kalman Filter for Nonlinear Attitude Estimation Using Time Variable Matrices and Quaternions

The nonlinear problem of sensing the attitude of a solid body is solved by a novel implementation of the Kalman Filter. This implementation combines the use of quaternions to represent attitudes, time-varying matrices to model the dynamic behavior of the process and a particular state vector. This v...
