Nonlinear Stochastic Attitude Filters on the Special Orthogonal Group 3: Ito and Stratonovich (1810.03130v4)

Abstract: Two nonlinear stochastic complimentary filters are developed on SO(3). They guarantee that errors in the Rodriguez vector and estimates are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded in mean square, and they converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed filters considering high level of uncertainties in angular velocity as well as body-frame vector measurements.
