Data fusion‐based descriptor approach for attitude estimation under accelerated maneuvers

This paper proposes the design of an attitude estimation algorithm for a rigid body subject to accelerated maneuvers. Unlike the current literature where the process model is usually driven by triaxial gyroscope measurements, we investigate a new formulation of the state-space model where the process model is given by triaxial accelerometer measurements. The observation model is given by triaxial gyroscope and magnetometer measurements. The proposed model is written as a descriptor system and takes the external acceleration sensed by the accelerometer into account. Based on this model, a Quaternion Descriptor Filter (QDF) is developped and its performance is evaluated through simulations and experimental tests in pedestrian navigation.
