Nonlinear Explicit Stochastic Attitude Filter on SO(3)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This work proposes a nonlinear stochastic filter evolved on the Special Orthogonal Group SO(3) as a solution to the attitude filtering problem. One of the most common potential functions for nonlinear deterministic attitude observers is studied and reformulated to address the noise attached to the attitude dynamics. The resultant estimator and correction factor demonstrate convergence properties and remarkable ability to attenuate the noise. The stochastic dynamics of the attitude problem are mapped from SO(3) to Rodriguez vector. The proposed stochastic filter evolved on SO(3) guarantees that errors in the Rodriguez vector and estimates steer very close to the neighborhood of the origin and that the errors are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded in mean square. Simulation results illustrate the robustness of the proposed filter in the presence of high uncertainties in measurements.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
