VteOrientation (UORB message)

Vision Target Estimator orientation state, exposing the full yaw filter output with covariances for logging and tuning.

Published by: vision_target_estimator (VTEOrientation). Subscribed by: logger only. The orientation-related fields consumed elsewhere (precision landing) are exposed on landing_target_pose.
