## Detailed Accuracy Analysis
|
||
|
||
### 1. Position Estimation (Extended Kalman Filter)
|
||
|
||
**State Vector (15 dimensions):**
|
||
- Position: [x, y, z] in ECEF frame
|
||
- Velocity: [vx, vy, vz]
|
||
- Orientation: [roll, pitch, yaw]
|
||
- Gyroscope bias: [bwx, bwy, bwz]
|
||
- Accelerometer bias: [bax, bay, baz]
|
||
|
||
**Covariance Matrix:**
|
||
```
|
||
Position covariance (3×3):
|
||
σx² = 0.0004 m² → σx = 2 cm
|
||
σy² = 0.0004 m² → σy = 2 cm
|
||
σz² = 0.0009 m² → σz = 3 cm
|
||
|
||
Orientation covariance (3×3):
|
||
σroll² = 7.6×10⁻⁷ rad² → σroll = 0.05°
|
||
σpitch² = 7.6×10⁻⁷ rad² → σpitch = 0.05°
|
||
σyaw² = 1.9×10⁻⁶ rad² → σyaw = 0.08°
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Process Noise:**
|
||
- Position: Q_pos = 0.001 m²/s
|
||
- Velocity: Q_vel = 0.01 m²/s²
|
||
- Orientation: Q_ori = 0.0001 rad²/s
|
||
- Gyro bias: Q_gyro = 1×10⁻⁶ rad²/s²
|
||
- Accel bias: Q_accel = 1×10⁻⁵ m²/s³
|
||
|
||
### 2. Orientation Tracking (Quaternion-based)
|
||
|
||
**Quaternion Representation:**
|
||
- Format: q = [w, x, y, z] (scalar-first)
|
||
- Normalization: ||q|| = 1 (enforced continuously)
|
||
- Interpolation: SLERP for smooth transitions
|
||
- Gimbal lock: **ELIMINATED** (quaternion benefit)
|
||
|
||
**Complementary Filter Parameters:**
|
||
- α (filter coefficient): 0.98
|
||
- Gyro weight: 98% (high-frequency)
|
||
- Accelerometer weight: 2% (low-frequency drift correction)
|
||
- Update frequency: 1000Hz
|
||
|
||
**Accuracy vs Motion:**
|
||
```
|
||
Static: 0.03° (accelerometer-dominant)
|
||
Slow motion: 0.05° (balanced filter)
|
||
Fast motion: 0.08° (gyro-dominant)
|
||
High acceleration: 0.12° (accelerometer unreliable)
|
||
```

||
|
||

|
||

|
||
- Outlier rejection: 3-sigma threshold
|
||
|
||
**VIO Accuracy:**
|
||
- Position: 5-10cm relative to reference
|
||
- Orientation: 0.1-0.2° relative to reference
|
||
- Drift rate: <0.5% of distance traveled
|
||
|
||

|
||
