| 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 |
|
minimum absolute orientation error which corresponds to the selection of the optimal parameter values |
|
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 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 |
