Sažetak	The Mahony Filter is a complementary observer-based attitude filter that fuses gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer measurements to estimate quaternion orientation. Developed by Robert Mahony and colleagues in 2008, the filter combines gyroscope rate integration with corrective feedback from vector measurements (accelerometer, compass) using proportional-integral control principles. The Mahony Filter provides similar performance to Kalman Filters but with simpler implementation and lower computational cost, making it ideal for resource-constrained systems and real-time control.	Quaternion attitude representation is a mathematical framework for describing three-dimensional rotations using four-dimensional vectors (quaternions). Superior to Euler angles due to the absence of singularities (gimbal lock), quaternions are the standard representation in modern attitude estimation, spacecraft control, and 3D computer graphics. Quaternion kinematics elegantly expresses how attitude evolves under angular velocity measurements from gyroscopes.
