Vision-Based Relative Navigation for Proximity Operations and On-Orbit Servicing Technologies Alfredo Valverde, Guangcong Zhang, Fu-Jen Chu, Nuno Filipe, Michail Kontitsis, Panagiotis Tsiotras, Patricio Vela Georgia Institute of Technology, Jet Propulsion Laboratory Dual Quaternion Based Controller Motivation ο On orbit servicing requires reliable and precise estimation of the relative pose (i.e., attitude and position) between the service and target satellite and the accurate and fail-safe control of the service satellite. ο Unit Dual Quaternions provide a compact representation of motion in SE(3).
