template class mrpt::math::CQuaternion

A quaternion, which can represent a 3D rotation as pair \((r,\mathbf{u}) *\), with a real part “r” and a 3D vector \(\mathbf{u} = (x,y,z)\), or alternatively, q = r + ix + jy + kz.

The elements of the quaternion can be accessed by either:

• r() (equivalent to w()), x(), y(), z(), or

• the operator [] with indices running from 0 (=r) to 3 (=z).

Users will usually employ the type CQuaternionDouble instead of this template.

Construction

CQuaternion(TConstructorFlags_Quaternions)

Can be used with UNINITIALIZED_QUATERNION as argument, does not initialize the 4 elements of the quaternion (use this constructor when speed is critical).

CQuaternion()

Default constructor: construct a (1, (0,0,0) ) quaternion representing no rotation.

CQuaternion(const T R, const T X, const T Y, const T Z)

Construct a quaternion from its parameters ‘r’, ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’, with q = r + ix + jy + kz.

Methods

template <class ARRAYLIKE3>
void ln(ARRAYLIKE3& out_ln) const

Logarithm of the 3x3 matrix defined by this pose, generating the corresponding vector in the SO(3) Lie Algebra, which coincides with the so-called “rotation vector” (I don’t have space here for the proof ;-).

Parameters:

out_ln

The target vector, which can be: std::vector<>, or mrpt::math::CVectorDouble or any row or column Eigen::Matrix<>.

See also:

exp, mrpt::poses::SE_traits

template <class ARRAYLIKE3>
ARRAYLIKE3 ln() const

overload that returns by value

template <class ARRAYLIKE3>
void ln_noresize(ARRAYLIKE3& out_ln) const

Like ln() but does not try to resize the output vector.

template <class ARRAYLIKE3>
static CQuaternion<T> exp(const ARRAYLIKE3& v)

Exponential map from the SO(3) Lie Algebra to unit quaternions.

See also:

ln, mrpt::poses::SE_traits

template <class ARRAYLIKE3>
static void exp(
    const ARRAYLIKE3& v,
    CQuaternion<T>& out_quat
    )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

void ensurePositiveRealPart()

Adhere to the convention of w>=0 to avoid ambiguity of quaternion double cover of SO(3)

T r() const

Return r (real part) coordinate of the quaternion.

T w() const

Return w (real part) coordinate of the quaternion.

Alias of r()

T x() const

Return x coordinate of the quaternion.

T y() const

Return y coordinate of the quaternion.

T z() const

Return z coordinate of the quaternion.

void r(const T r)

Set r (real part) coordinate of the quaternion.

void w(const T w)

Set w (real part) coordinate of the quaternion.

Alias of r()

void x(const T x)

Set x coordinate of the quaternion.

void y(const T y)

Set y coordinate of the quaternion.

void z(const T z)

Set z coordinate of the quaternion.

template <class ARRAYLIKE3>
void fromRodriguesVector(const ARRAYLIKE3& v)

Set this quaternion to the rotation described by a 3D (Rodrigues) rotation vector \(\mathbf{v}\) : If \(\mathbf{v}=0\), then the quaternion is \(\mathbf{q} = [1 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0]^\top\), otherwise:

\[\begin{split}\mathbf{q} = \left[ \begin{array}{c} \cos(\frac{\theta}{2}) \\ v_x \frac{\sin(\frac{\theta}{2})}{\theta} \\ v_y \frac{\sin(\frac{\theta}{2})}{\theta} \\ v_z \frac{\sin(\frac{\theta}{2})}{\theta} \end{array} \right]\end{split}\]

where \(\theta = |\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2+v_z^2}\).

void crossProduct(const CQuaternion& q1, const CQuaternion& q2)

Calculate the “cross” product (or “composed rotation”) of two quaternion: this = q1 x q2 After the operation, “this” will represent the composed rotations of q1 and q2 (q2 applied “after” q1).

void rotatePoint(
    const double lx,
    const double ly,
    const double lz,
    double& gx,
    double& gy,

The output matrix can be a dynamic or fixed size (4x4) matrix.

template <class MATRIXLIKE>
void rotationJacobian(MATRIXLIKE& J) const

Compute the Jacobian of the rotation composition operation \(p = f(\cdot) = q_{this} \times r\), that is the 4x4 matrix \(\frac{\partial f}{\partial q_{this} }\).

The output matrix can be a dynamic or fixed size (4x4) matrix.

template <class MATRIXLIKE>
void rotationMatrix(MATRIXLIKE& M) const

Calculate the 3x3 rotation matrix associated to this quaternion:

\[\begin{split}\mathbf{R} = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} q_r^2+q_x^2-q_y^2-q_z^2 & 2(q_x q_y - q_r q_z) & 2(q_z q_x+q_r q_y) \\ 2(q_x q_y+q_r q_z) & q_r^2-q_x^2+q_y^2-q_z^2 & 2(q_y q_z-q_r q_x) \\ 2(q_z q_x-q_r q_y) & 2(q_y q_z+q_r q_x) & q_r^2- q_x^2 - q_y^2 + q_z^2 \end{array} \right)\end{split}\]

.

template <class MATRIXLIKE>
void rotationMatrixNoResize(MATRIXLIKE& M) const

Fill out the top-left 3x3 block of the given matrix with the rotation matrix associated to this quaternion (does not resize the matrix, for that, see rotationMatrix).

Return the conjugate quaternion.

void rpy(T& roll, T& pitch, T& yaw) const

Return the yaw, pitch & roll angles associated to quaternion.

    ) const

Return the yaw, pitch & roll angles associated to quaternion, and (optionally) the 3x4 Jacobian of the transformation.
