First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for measuring a position or an orientation of an object, comprising:
- a first set of sensors, including a rotation sensor, providing output signals each representative of a measurement of a vector in the object'"'"'s body frame; and
one or more filters which combine the output signals over multiple time points to provide a system output signal representative of a vector related to one or more of velocity, position, and orientation of the object relative to a predetermined reference frame, wherein the filters combine the sensors'"'"' output signals at each time point in the object'"'"'s body frame.
