Hi,

I’m doing a project for determining the position (declination angle) of a
vehicle using Kalman Filter. I have one 3D Accelerator and 3 Gyros on
board. With the help of Kalman Filter I must find the exact position of a
working machine(declination of the machine). Therefore I need the initial
declination angles. I know that I can get them from the 3D Accelerometer
measurements, but I don’t know how. I’ve thought that by double
integrating I can get them, but it turns out that it doesn’t work. Is
there another way to find them – I mean is there some special kind of
transformation matrix I can use? After all what I need is just the matrix
with the initial declination angles of the machine.
