MonographDOI
Quaternions and rotation sequences : a primer with applications to orbits, aerospace, and virtual reality
TL;DR: In this article, J.B. Kuipers introduces quaternions for scientists and engineers who have not encountered them before and shows how they can be used in a variety of practical situations.
Patent
Object tracking and orientation determination means, system and process
TL;DR: In this article, the maximum intensity vector of a magnetic field produced by the currents in the coils is sensed in at least two orthogonal directions at the object to be tracked and whose orientation is to be determined.
Patent
Tracking and determining orientation of object using coordinate transformation means, system and process
TL;DR: In this article, an electromagnetic field which nutates about a pointing vector is used to both track or locate a remote object, in addition to determining the relative orientation of the object.
Patent
Method and apparatus for determining remote object orientation and position
TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for determining remote object orientation and position with an electromagnetic coupling is provided and an uncoupled, noniterative, closed form solution for both position and orientation which is fast and includes no discontinuities.
Patent
Apparatus for generating a nutating electromagnetic field
TL;DR: In this article, the maximum intensity vector of a magnetic field produced by the currents in the coils nutates about a mean axis called the pointing vector direction of the field, which is used to both track or locate an object in addition to determining the relative orientation of this object.
