Absolute orientation the orientation of the local coordinate system (LCS) of a system with respect to its GCS
Absolute orientation error the difference between the orientation of the LCS of a magneto-inertial measurement unit (MIMU) computed by a sensor fusion algorithm (SFA) and its actual orientation computed by the optical reference (SP) and expressed by the angle given by the axis-angle convention
edef absolute orientation error corresponding to the selection of the default parameter values
eopt minimum absolute orientation error which corresponds to the selection of the optimal parameter values
Optimal parameter region the range of parameter values for which the orientation errors are equal to eopt plus 0.5 deg
