An extended Kalman filter for quaternion-based attitude estimation

The filter represents rotations using quaternions rather than Euler angles, which eliminates the long-standing problem of singularities associated with those angles. A process model for rigid body angular motions and angular rate measurements is defined. The process model converts angular rates into...
