  • Abstract
    The most common approach to attitude estimation involves direct estimation of the rotation matrix or its associated quaternion. This results in a difficult constrained estimation problem. Here instead we develop a new online algorithm that directly estimates the angular velocity which is unconstrained. The rotation matrix or quaternion is then easily obtained from the kinematics. We sketch an averaging analysis of stability of the new algorithm.
