Quaternions in computer vision and robotics
نویسنده
چکیده
Computer vision and robotics suffer from not having good tools for manipulating three-dimensional objects. Vectors, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry all have deficiencies. Quaternions can be used to solve many of these problems. Many properties of quaternions that are relevant to computer vision and robotics are developed. Examples are given showing how quaternions can be used to simplify derivations in computer vision and robotics. This research was sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DOD), ARPA Order No. 3597, monitored by the Air Force Avionics Laboratory Under Contract F33615-73-C-1551. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or the US Government.

On Averaging in Clifford Groups
Averaging measured data is an important issue in computer vision and robotics. Integrating the pose of an object measured with multiple cameras into a single mean pose is one such example. In many applications data does not belong to a vector space. Instead, data often belongs to a non–linear group manifold as it is the case for orientation data and the group of three–dimensional rotations SO(3...

Geometric algebra covers a lot of other mathematical systems like vector algebra, complex numbers, Plücker coordinates, quaternions etc. and it is geometrically intuitive to work with. Furthermore there is a lot of potential for optimization and parallelization. In this paper, we investigate computers suitable for geometric algebra algorithms. While these geometric algebra computers are working...

متن کاملTwo New Methods of Boundary Correction for Classifying Textural Images
With the growth of technology, supervising systems are increasingly replacing humans in military, transportation, medical, spatial, and other industries. Among these systems are machine vision systems which are based on image processing and analysis. One of the important tasks of image processing is classification of images into desirable categories for the identification of objects or their sp...
متن کاملQuaternions: From Classical Mechanics to Computer Graphics, and Beyond
The theory of quaternions was introduced in the mid nineteenth century, and it found many applications in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and the theory of relativity. Quaternions were also later used in aerospace applications and flight simulators, particularly when inertial attitude referencing and related control schemes where employed. However, it is only in the recent past that gra...
