Note that computational efficiency has been achieved in this procedure by replacing the matrix inverse with a transpose.

===Triad Attitude Matrix and Handed-ness of Measurements===

===Handedness of Vectors: Effect on the Direction Cosine Matrix Estimation===

It is of consequence to note that the Triad method always produces a proper orthogonal matrix irrespective of the handedness of the reference and body vectors employed in the estimation process. This can be shown as follows.

Let us re-write Eq. ({{EquationNote|8}}) in a matrix form given by
