Efficient algorithms for single-axis attitude estimation
Abstract
The computationally efficient algorithms determine attitude from the measurement of art lengths and dihedral angles. The dependence of these algorithms on the solution of trigonometric equations was reduced. Both single time and batch estimators are presented along with the covariance analysis of each algorithm.
