Absolute orientation the orientation of the LCS of a system with respect to its GCS
Absolute orientation error the difference between the orientation of the LCS of a MIMU computed by a SFA and its actual orientation computed by the optical reference (SP) and expressed by the angle given by the axis-angle convention
eopt minimum absolute orientation error which corresponds to the selection of the optimal parameter values
esub absolute orientation error which corresponds to the selection of the suboptimal parameter values
Optimal parameter region the range of parameter values for which the orientation errors are equal to eopt plus 0.5 deg
Relative orientation difference the difference between the LCSs of two MIMUs both computed by a SFA and expressed by the angle given by the axis-angle convention
Suboptimal parameter region the range of parameter values corresponding to the minimum of the relative orientation difference
Suboptimal parameter values Parameter values corresponding to the centroid of the suboptimal parameter region
