X Abstract

This paper presents a compact differential formula for the first derivative of a unit quaternion curve defined on SO(3) or S 3 . The formula provides a convenient way to compute the angular velocity of a rotating 3D solid. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this formula by deriving the differential properties of various unit quaternion curves [4, 5, 6, 7, 8] at the curve end points. Keywords: Quaternion, rotation, S 3 , SO(3), exponential, logarithm, differential, Jacobian matrix 1...
