Dual Quaternions as a Tool for Rigid Body Motion Analysis: a Tutorial with an Application to Biomechanics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dual quaternions and dual quaternion interpolation are powerful mathematical tools for the spatial analysis of rigid body motions. In this paper, after a review of some basic results and formulas, it will be presented an attempt to use these tools for the the kinematic modeling of human joints. In particular, the kinematic parameters extracted from experimentally acquired data are compared with those theoretically computed from dual quaternions rigid body motion interpolation.

Global Stabilization of Attitude Dynamics: SDRE-based Control Laws
The State-Dependant Riccati Equation method has been frequently used to design suboptimal controllers applied to nonlinear dynamic systems. Different methods for local stability analysis of SDRE controlled systems of order greater than two such as the attitude dynamics of a general rigid body have been extended in literature; however, it is still difficult to show global stability properties of...
متن کاملAdaptive Model-Independent Tracking of Rigid Body Position and Attitude Motion with Mass and Inertia Matrix Identification using Dual Quaternions
In this paper, we propose a nonlinear adaptive position and attitude tracking controller for a rigid body that requires no information about the mass and inertia matrix of the body. Moreover, we provide sufficient conditions on the reference trajectory that guarantee mass and inertia matrix identification. The controller is shown to be almost globally asymptotically stable and can handle large ...
متن کاملReal Time Skeletal Animation with Dual Quaternion
Though Combination of Quaternions and matrix has been a popular tool in skeletal animation for more than 20 years, classical quaternions are restricted to the representation of rotations. In skeletal animation and many other applications of 3D computer graphics, we actually deal with rigid transformation including both rotation and translation. Dual quaternions represent rigid transformations n...
متن کاملDual Quaternions for Rigid Transformation Blending
Quaternions have been a popular tool in 3D computer graphics for more than 20 years. However, classical quaternions are restricted to the representation of rotations, whereas in graphical applications we typically work with rotation composed with translation (i.e., a rigid transformation). Dual quaternions represent rigid transformations in the same way as classical quaternions represent rotati...
متن کاملDual Quaternion Blending Algorithm and Its Application in Character Animation
In this paper we generalize established techniques and blending algorithm for quaternions to dual quaternions to represent rigid transformations compactly. With the visualization of OpenGL, we employ dual quaternions to achieve character animation in real time. Classical quaternions are only able to characterize rotations although combination of matrix calculation and quaternions operator has b...
