Quaternions and Rotation Sequences

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: In this paper we introduce and define the quaternion; we give a brief introduction to its properties and algebra, and we show, what appears to be, its primary application -the quaternion rotation operator.The quaternion rotation operator competes with the conventional matrix rotation operator in a variety of rotation sequences.
