Abstract

An analytical expression for a state transition matrix (STM) is preferable to numerical integration of the STM for real-time estimation of spacecraft pose. With a discrete STM for a dual quaternion state vector, the dual quaternion error covariance can be propagated analytically between two measurement time intervals. This work provides two analytic solutions for a dual quaternion STM, dual quaternion error STM, and discrete process noise covariance matrices. These state transition matrices are utilized to compute innovation terms in the update part of the EKF. Numerical simulations show that the STM agree with the numerically integrated dual quaternion kinematics, and the STM are also demonstrated to be viable for EKF development.
