It provides an overview of the sensors involved (gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer) and their limitations. Methods for sensor fusion involving Kalman and complementary filters have been reviewed. Several techniques for specifying orientation -Euler angles and quaternions are also discussed. %K gyroscope %K Kalman %K orientation %K quaternion %K tracking %K IJCSI %U http://www.ijcsi.org/papers/IJCSI-9-4-3-271-274.pdf
