Linear inverse problems are ubiquitous. Often the measurements do not follow a Gaussian distribution. Additionally, a model matrix with a large condition number can complicate the problem further by making it ill-posed. In this case, the…
We consider a robust and self-reliant (or "egoistic") variation of the rigid body localization (RBL) problem, in which a primary rigid body seeks to estimate the pose (i.e., location and orientation) of another rigid body (or "target"),…
Dynamic state estimation, as opposed to kinematic state estimation, seeks to estimate not only the orientation of a rigid body but also its angular velocity, through Euler's equations of rotational motion. This paper demonstrates that the…
