Kalman Filtering for Spacecraft Attitude Estimation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the methods of Kalman filtering in attitude estimation and their development over the last two decades, focusing on three-axis gyros and attitude sensors.

Survey of nonlinear attitude estimation methods

TL;DR: A survey of modern nonlinear filtering methods for attitude estimation based on the Gaussian assumption that the probability density function is adequately specified by its mean and covariance is provided.

Unscented Filtering for Spacecraft Attitude Estimation

TL;DR: In this paper, an unscented filter is used to estimate the attitude of a spacecraft in the presence of a gyro-based model for attitude propagation, and a multiplicative quaternion-error is derived from the local attitude error, which guarantees that quaternions normalization is maintained in the filter.

Attitude Error Representations for Kalman Filtering

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider various attitude error representations for the Multiplicative Extended Kalman Filter (MEFL) and its second-order extension, and compare them with a three-component representation for attitude errors.

Nonlinear Attitude Filtering Methods

TL;DR: A survey of modern nonlinear filtering methods for attitude estimation can be found in this paper, where a two-step approach is discussed with a first-step state that linearizes the measurement model and an iterative second-step to recover the desired attitude states.

New Results in Linear Filtering and Prediction Theory

TL;DR: The Duality Principle relating stochastic estimation and deterministic control problems plays an important role in the proof of theoretical results and properties of the variance equation are of great interest in the theory of adaptive systems.

- 01 Oct 1964 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a group of rotations of Euclidean 3D space is used for integration of rigid body motion equations, and a parameterization of group of rotation groups is proposed.
