J. Genin et al., ACCELEROMETER PLACEMENT FOR ANGULAR VELOCITY DETERMINATION, Journal of dynamic systems, measurement, and control, 119(3), 1997, pp. 474-477
An accelerometer placement scheme to determine the angular velocities
and accelerations of a rigid body is presented. We show that the least
number of uniaxial accelerometers required in a sensor army to unique
ly determine the angular velocities in a moving frame is nine.
