Abstract

Calibrated approximations of the nonlinear attitude error kinematics for various attitude parameterizations are derived. For this purpose, the equivalence of the linearized equations of motion, related through linearized transformations, is demonstrated assuming either additive or multiplicative error definitions. This equivalence is used to develop calibrated linearized solutions for coordinates with higher nonlinearity indices that utilize the linearized solutions for coordinates with lower nonlinearity indices and thus provide greater accuracy than the traditional linearized solution. Additionally, the inverse of the calibration process is used to develop a more accurate decalibrated solution.
