Attitude estimation is often a prerequisite for control of the attitude or orientation of mechanical systems. Current attitude estimation algorithms use coordinate representations for the group of rigid body orientations. All coordinate…
Orientation estimation is a fundamental task in 3D shape analysis which consists of estimating a shape's orientation axes: its side-, up-, and front-axes. Using this data, one can rotate a shape into canonical orientation, where its…
