AE 2013 - Special Session on Angular Estimation

Many estimation problems of practical relevance include the problem of estimating angular or directional quantities. However, conventional filters like the Kalman-Filter assume Gaussian distributions defined on R^n. This assumption neglects the inherent periodicity present in angular quantities. Consequently, more sophisticated approaches are required to accurately describe the circular setting. This Special Session addresses fundamental techniques, recent developments and future research directions in the field of angular estimation
