Abstract

This paper presents the general total least-squares formulation for the problem of attitude determination from vector observations. Except for a special case, the total least-squares attitude estimation problem cannot be converted to Wahba’s problem. Two iterative solutions are presented that determine both the attitude matrix and the unit or non-unit vector observations. The associated covariance matrices are also derived under the small error assumption.
