The quaternionic representation of ham images, treating RGB colour components as a single unit instead of as separate components, is very effective. The advantage of using quaternion arithmetic is that the perceptually richer colour images can be represented and analyzed as a single entity, improving the accuracy of pattern recognition models. The quaternionic singular value decomposition (SVD)...

This paper deals with orientation estimation using miniature inertial/magnetic sensor comprised of a tri-axial rate gyro, a tri-axial accelerometer, and a tri-axial magnetometer. Particularly, a novel quaternion-based pseudo Kalman filter (KF) is proposed by modifying an indirect KF, in order to maximize the computational efficiency and implementation simplicity. In the proposed pseudo KF, time...

This paper contains a computational analysis and comparison of various representations of a general rigid body spatial screw displacement. Point transformations and line transformations are treated separately. In the context of point transformations, only a brief summary of the known techniques (i.e., homogeneous transforms and quaternion/vector pairs) and their computational behavior is given....

This article is an exhaustive revision of concepts and formulas related to quaternions and rotations in 3D space, and their proper use in estimation engines such as the error-state Kalman filter. The paper includes an in-depth study of the rotation group and its Lie structure, with formulations using both quaternions and rotation matrices. It makes special attention in the definition of rotatio...

Formulation of proper and efficient algorithms for robot kinematics is essential for the analysis and design of serial manipulators. Kinematic modeling of manipulators is most often performed in Cartesian space. However, due to disadvantages of most widely used mathematical constructs for description of orientation such as Euler angles and rotational matrices, a need for unambiguous, compact, s...
