/*
* AP_InertialNav blends accelerometer data with gps and barometer data to improve altitude and position hold.
*
* Most of the functions have to be called at 100Hz. (see defines above)
*
* The accelerometer values are integrated over time to approximate velocity and position.
* The inaccurcy of these estimates grows over time due to noisy sensor data.
* To improve the accuracy, baro and gps readings are used:
* An error value is calculated as the difference between the sensor's measurement and the last position estimation.
* This value is weighted with a gain factor and incorporated into the new estimation
*
* Special thanks to Tony Lambregts (FAA) for advice which contributed to the development of this filter.
