What is VQF: Highly accurate IMU orientation estimation with bias estimation and magnetic disturbance rejection about?

The miniaturization of MEMS-based inertial measurement units (IMUs) facilitates their widespread use in a growing number of application domains. The fundamental sensor fusion task of orientation estimation is a prerequisite for most further data processing steps in inertial motion tracking, such as position and velocity estimation, joint angle estimation, and 3D visualization. Errors in the estimated orientations severely affect all further processing steps. Recent systematic comparisons of existing algorithms show that out-of-the-box accuracy is often low and that application-specific tuning is required to obtain high accuracy. In the present work, we propose and extensively evaluate a quaternion-based orientation estimation algorithm that is based on a novel approach of filtering the acceleration measurements in an almost-inertial frame and that includes extensions for gyroscope bias estimation and magnetic disturbance rejection, as well as a variant for offline data processing. In contrast to all existing work, we perform an extensive evaluation, using a large collection of publicly available datasets and eight literature methods for comparison. The proposed method consistently
