"I found this article on how a laser doppler system could be used to determine everything we need. If anyone knows more about laser velocimetry, please feel free to respond. Could we do this with a diode laser?"

DCM versus Kalman filter

Posted on May 12, 2011 at 8:17am 6 Comments

Hi

I notice that attitude estimation is done using the DCM algorithm.
I was wondering if anyone, has tried implementing a Kalman filter for attitude estimation?
The DCM update has a nice intutive feel to it, but i would like to throw in a sound math proof for why it converges. Has anyone worked on this so far?
