Abstract
A method for determining the spatial orientation of an object encompasses the steps of detecting a rotational speed of the object with the aid of a first sensor; determining an estimated value for the spatial orientation of the object based on the detected rotational speed and a starting value for the spatial orientation; detecting the acceleration aacting on the object with the aid of a second sensor; determining the acceleration component of the detected acceleration aresulting from the rotational movement, based on the detected rotational speed and a given distance of the second sensor from the rotational axis of the rotational movement; determining the acceleration component aof the detected acceleration aresulting from the gravity; and correcting the estimated value for the spatial orientation, taking into account the acceleration component aresulting from the gravity.
