Implementing attitude computation for strapdown inertial navigation systems through quaternion algorithms, with navigation parameter calculation utilizing accelerometer and gyroscope data fusion

Detailed Documentation

When performing attitude resolution, the quaternion method can be employed to effectively solve attitude determination problems in strapdown inertial systems. This approach typically involves implementing quaternion normalization and integration algorithms to maintain numerical stability while updating orientation parameters. Additionally, we can calculate navigation parameters using fused data from accelerometers and gyroscopes, which requires implementing sensor fusion algorithms like complementary filters or Kalman filters to achieve more precise position and direction determination. These methodologies are crucial for developing robust navigation systems and help researchers better understand and master advanced navigation technologies through practical algorithm implementation.
