The position reset was not being compensated for velocity and measurement delay
The height was being reset with the position. It has been moved into a separate reset function
The maximum accepted GPS delay of 100msec was inadequate
The states was being incorrectly reset to the GPS position and Baro height on initial alignment.
When fusing 3-axis magnetometer data without absolute external aiding leg GPS), the declination is ultimately unobservable and the declination of the field states and the vehicle heading will slowly drift over time. To prevent this we need to fuse in a declination to constraint the NE earth field estimates.
Use of the power function to square a number can be very inefficient depending on processor and compiler. Replace with an inlined function that multiplies the number by itself. This has not been put into the maths library because the use of the sq() function is peculiar to the autocode generated for the EKF and an inlined function was desired.
A larger position uncertainty is required when flying without GPS to reduce tilt attitude estimation errors caused by vehicle manoeuvring. This needs to be tuneable to allow optimisation for different use cases (e.g. outdoor vs indoor).
Fix bug where noise parameters were not being squared when calculating the observation variance.
Use GPS reported speed accuracy to set velocity observation noise and use the parameter to set the minimum.
Set conservative defaults as a baseline for tuning
Add a missing parameter for magnetometer observation noise.
Correct error in definition of magnetic heading observations noise (previous parameter defined the variance directly, not the noise).
Scale vertical GPS noise to allow for average EPV to EPH ratio.
Update documentation and display names for consistency.
the delta angle bias was applied to imu data which was not coming in the same
time intervall as the filter was operating. Therefore, the delta angle bias
applied to new imu data had to be scaled correctly in order to match
the imu time interval.
Use the gravity vector to estimate the initial roll and pitch angle
Use the projection of the magnetic field measurement onto the earth axis horizontal plane to calculate the initial heading
