"Ryan, I agree with your simple aproach, but don't anyone underestimate its power.
The 4 simple equations, if combined with the the scalar valued steady-state Kalman gains, which only need to be calculated once, are the almost absolute optimal…"

"I know. It could a have been a good money maker. I have text books going back a decade or more on these methods."
"By barometer offset I meant bias. If the barometer has a temperature dependent bias or scale factor that could be accounted for as I mentioned above."
"There shouldn't be too much re-inventing, Ryan's equations are spot on with GPS measurement just needing another addition term (for example: ... + k_*_gps(h_est - gps_alt).
The new part is how you choose the gains which are based on the state…"

"This has the same form as a two state (vertical position and velocity) with a single measurement (barometric altitude) steady-state Kalman filter. You can pre-compute the steady-state Kalman gains using the noise properties of your sensors and the…"
"Yes, our computer vision obstacle avoidance algorithm is so robust it even works without a camera.
One change to your post James. We did change the cross-track gain to 0.1 and allow a 90 deg cross track entry angle."

"This sounds interesting, we'll have to look into it as well, Thanks for the heads up."
This is the Qt GCS that James and I have been working on. It still needs some work but it uses cross-platform libraries and the CMake build system. It uses OsgEarth, an open source equivalent to Google Earth. The GCS can load many 3d model types…
