Abstract

There are two rotation matrix parameters in a model, pro-posed by Prentice in 1989, for pairs of rotations in 3 dimensional space. For the least squares estimates of the two parameters, an algorithm was also presented, but it turned out that the algorithm could fail to get the least squares estimates. This article provides another algorithm for the least squares estimates and its performance is demonstrated by simulation results.
