  1. KIPA Game Engine Seminars Day 16 Jonathan Blow Ajou University December 13, 2002

  2. Rotation in 2D • Multiplication of complex numbers • Complex number representation in polar coordinates (magnitude, angle)

  3. Euler’s Formula • eiθ = cosθ + i sinθ • Looking at the derivative of each side

  4. All rotations in 3D can be expressed as rotation by an angle around an axis • Definition of the axis as an eigenvector of the rotation • Proof that in 3D all transforms have 1 or 3 (real) eigenvalues • So we have 1 or 3 axes of rotation • 3 axes means it’s the identity rotation (maybe with scaling)

  5. Quaternion • As an axis/angle representation • Re-derivation of qvq*

  6. Mathematical demonstrationthat the expression qvq* rotates the vector v • Work out the terms, breaking v into components parallel and orthogonal to the axis • Show what qvq* does to each of these components

  7. Multiplying by a Non-Unit Quaternion • Scales the vector • (demonstration of this) • (analogy to 2D case)

  8. Quaternion Powers • What is q2? • What is qt?

  9. SLERP • As q0(1-t)q1t • Rewrite this as q0(q0-1q1)t

  10. Exponential Formof a Quaternion • cosθ + y sinθ ; y is axis of rotation • eyθ

  11. The Log of a Quaternion • log eyθ = yθ • But be careful, the additive log identity doesn’t work here! • It requires commutative multiplication • Demonstration of this on whiteboard • The identity does work if the axes are colinear

  12. The Exponential Map • Is the log of a quaternion • Actually it can also mean the log of an arbitrary transformation matrix, but here we are restricted to quaternions • We can interpolate in this space • What are the properties of this interpolation?

  13. The Exponential Map • It interpolates at constant speed, but it is not the same function as slerp • Therefore it cannot possibly follow the shortest path of interpolation • (otherwise they’d be the same function!) • Indeed the further away the source orientations, the wider the path used by the exponential map

  14. The Exponential Map • But sometimes you care most about constant speed, so the exponential map works well for that • Provides a method of linearization that’s different from the linear interpolation in quaternion space discussed last week • Also apparently there’s lots of other math you can do with these, which I don’t know, read some advanced robotics papers to find out

  15. Simple Cases For Quaternions • qxq* • qxq* dot x • Convert quaternion to rotation matrix

  16. Discussion of my quaternion IK work • (demo of app) • People generally use Euler angles for IK but they are slow and unintuitive • We can use quaternions instead to build a fast system
