Attitude determination and parameter estimation using vector observations

Procedures for attitude determination based on Wahba's loss function are generalized to include the estimation of parameters other than the attitude, such as sensor biases. Optimization with respect to the attitude requires either the singular value decomposition of a 3x3 matrix or finding the maximum eigenvalue and corresponding eigenvector of a 4x4 symmetric matrix, but does not require an a priori estimate of the attitude. Optimization with respect to the other parameters employs an iterative approach, which does require an a priori estimate of these parameters. Conventional state estimation methods require a priori estimates of both the parameters and the attitude, while the algorithms presented in this paper always compute the exact optimal attitude for given values of the parameters. The proposed method is shown to give the correct solution of an example problem. An expression for the covariance of the attitude and parameter estimates is derived.
