Abstract

This paper deals with comparison of three different approaches of Euler angles computing from gyroscope output data. Methods are compared by their precision and computing time consumption. First method is based on infinitesimal rotation matrix. Second is based on transforming angular velocity to Euler angles derivations. The third method is based on quaternion rotation. Results of experiments are showing that the third approach seems to have the best results of all.
