iSlerp: An Incremental Approach to Slerp

نویسنده

  • Xin Li
چکیده

Abstract In this paper, an incremental quaternion interpolation algorithm is introduced. With the assumption of a constant interval between a pair of quaternions, the cost of interpolation algorithm is significantly reduced. Expensive trigonometric calculations in Slerp are replaced with simple linear combination arithmetic. The round-off errors and drifting behavior accumulated through incremental steps are also analyzed in the paper.

Incremental Spherical Linear Interpolation

Animation is often done by setting up a sequence of key orientations, represented by quaternions. The in between orientations are obtained by spherical linear interpolation (SLERP) of the quaternions, which then can be used to rotate the objects. However, SLERP involves the computation of trigonometric functions, which are computationally expensive. Since it is often required that the angle bet...

VQS Transformation with an Incremental Approach

This paper presents an incremental method to 3D transformation by VQS structures. For interpolated scaling, rotation and translation between two animation key frames, with constant intervals in size, angle and distance, the proposed approach reduces the VQS transformation cost by more than an half. Moreover, all interpolations for VQS key frames are performed implicitly at no cost. In other wor...

The Attitude Determination Algorithm Using Integrated Gps/ins Data

Traditionally, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is a well known approach for general nonlinear data fusion problem. But the unit norm constraint of quaternion vector, which is the most efficient expression of attitude, results in the singularity of error covariance matrix. To overcome this difficulty, the modified extended Kalman filter (MEKF) has been developed by Shuster (1982). In order to i...

Application of Quaternion Interpolation (SLERP) to the Orientation Control of 6-Axis Articulated Robot using LabVIEW and RecurDyn

In general, the orientation interpolation of industrial robots has been done based on Euler angle system which can result in singular point (so-called Gimbal Lock). However, quaternion interpolation has the advantage of natural (specifically smooth) orientation interpolation without Gimbal Lock. This paper presents the application of quaternion interpolation, specifically Spherical Linear IntER...

Triangulation of Airborne Three-line Images Using Unit Quaternion

In this paper the unit quaternion is used as a substitute for describing the attitude of a camera to overcome the shortcomings of Euler angles on the description and interpolation of orientation, corresponding collinearity equation is then derived and linearized. At the same time the Spherical linear Interpolation (Slerp) of unit quaternion is introduced into the bundle adjustment of three-line...
