fusion-altitude 0.1.2

A no_std altitude and vertical-velocity estimator. Fuses barometric pressure with gravity-compensated vertical acceleration via a 3-state complementary observer (altitude, vertical velocity, and accel-bias). Companion to fusion-ahrs.

/// Tuning parameters for [`crate::AltitudeEstimator`].
///
/// The three gains define a 3rd-order observer with characteristic
/// polynomial `s³ + position_gain·s² + velocity_gain·s + bias_gain`.
/// A clean cascaded design places a damped position/velocity pair at
/// bandwidth `ω` and a slow real bias pole at `ω_b ≪ ω`:
///
/// ```text
/// position_gain = 2ζω + ω_b      (1/s)
/// velocity_gain = ω² + 2ζω·ω_b   (1/s²)
/// bias_gain     = ω² · ω_b       (1/s³)
/// ```
///
/// Routh-Hurwitz stability requires `position_gain · velocity_gain > bias_gain`.
