A Beginners Guide to Dual-Quaternions

In this paper, we give a beginners guide to the practicality of using dual-quaternions to represent the rotations and translations in character-based hierarchies. Quaternions have proven themselves in many fields of science and computing as providing an unambiguous, un-cumbersome, computationally efficient method of representing rotational information. We hope after reading this paper the reade...

Since its emergence about 20 years ago, it has rapidly evolved into the mainstay of functional neuroimaging for neur...
