“…However, due to the nonlinear nature of the navigation equations, and in particular to the fact the orientation of the aircraft (i.e., the attitude) does not live in a vector space, the EKF may have some shortcomings. This has motivated the development of alternative filters, especially for attitude estimation, see e.g., [12], [19], [6], [15], [13], [10], [16], [20], [7].…”
