Quaternion is a 4-component mathematic object quite convenient when dealing with space rotation (or reference frame transformation).

In short, think of quaternion Q as a 3-vector augmented by a real number. \( Q = Q|_r + Q|_V \)

Quaternion multiplication :

Quaternion multiplication is given by :

\[ Q.Q' = (Q|_r + Q|_V )*( Q'|_r + Q'|_V) = [ Q|_r*Q'|_r - Q|_V*Q'|_V ] + [ Q|_r*Q'|_V + Q'|_r*Q|_V + Q|_V X Q'|_V ] \]

where :

\( Q|_r*Q'|_r \) is a real number product of real numbers
\( Q|_V*Q'|_V \) is a real number, scalar product of two 3-vectors
\( Q|_r*Q'|_V \) is a 3-vector, scaling of a 3-vector by a real number
\( Q|_VXQ'|_V \) is a 3-vector, cross product of two 3-vectors

Thus, quaternion product is a generalization of real number product and product of a vector by a real number. Product of two pure vectors gives a quaternion whose real part is the opposite of scalar product and the vector part the cross product.

The conjugate of a quaternion \( Q = Q|r + Q|V \) is \( \bar{Q} = Q|r - Q|V \)

The magnitude of a quaternion \( Q \) is given by \( |Q|^2 = Q.\bar{Q} = \bar{Q}.Q = Q^2|r + |Q|V|^2 \)

Therefore, the inverse of a quaternion is \( Q-1 = \bar{Q} /|Q|^2 \)

"unit" quaternion is a quaternion of magnitude 1 : \( |Q|^2 = 1. \) Unit quaternions are a subset of the quaternions set.

Quaternion and rotations :

A rotation of angle \( f \) around a given axis, is represented by a unit quaternion Q :

The axis of the rotation is given by the vector part of Q.
The ratio between the magnitude of the vector part and the real part of Q equals tan({f}{2}).

In other words : \( Q = Q|_r + Q|_V = cos(\frac{f}{2}) + sin(\frac{f}{2}) \). (where u is a unit vector // to the rotation axis, \( cos(\frac{f}{2}) \) is the real part, \( sin(\frac{f}{2}) \) .u is the vector part) Note : The quaternion of identity is \( Q_I = cos(0) + sin(0)*(AnyVector) = 1\) .

The composition of two rotations is described by the product of the two corresponding quaternions. As for 3-space rotations, quaternion multiplication is not commutative !

\( Q = Q_1.Q_2 \) represents the composition of the successive rotation R1 and R2 expressed in the current frame (the axis of rotation hold by \( Q_2 \) is expressed in the frame as it is after R1 rotation). \( Q = Q_2.Q_1 \) represents the composition of the successive rotation R1 and R2 expressed in the initial reference frame.

The inverse of a rotation is a rotation about the same axis but of opposite angle, thus if Q is a unit quaternion, \( Q = cos(\frac{f}{2}) + sin(\frac{f}{2}).u = Q|_r + Q|_V\) , then : \( Q^{-1} =cos(-\frac{f}{2}) + sin(-\frac{f}{2}).u = cos(\frac{f}{2}) - sin(\frac{f}{2}).u = Q|_r -Q|_V \) is its inverse quaternion.

One verifies that : \( Q.Q^{-1} = Q^{-1}.Q = Q|_r*Q|_r + Q|_V*Q|_V + Q|_r*Q|_V -Q|_r*Q|_V + Q|_VXQ|_V = Q\leq|_r + Q\leq|_V = 1 \)

The rotation of a vector V by the rotation described by a unit quaternion Q is obtained by the following operation : \( V' = Q*V*Q^{-1} \), considering V as a quaternion whose real part is null.

Numeric computation considerations :

Numerically, the quaternion multiplication involves 12 additions and 16 multiplications. It is therefore faster than 3x3 matrixes multiplication involving 18 additions and 27 multiplications.

On the contrary, rotation of a vector by the above formula ( \( Q*V*Q^{-1} \) ) involves 18 additions and 24 multiplications, whereas multiplication of a 3-vector by a 3x3 matrix involves only 6 additions and 9 multiplications.

When dealing with numerous composition of space rotation, it is therefore faster to use quaternion product. On the other hand if a huge set of vectors must be rotated by a given quaternion, it is more optimized to convert the quaternion into a rotation matrix once, and then use that later to rotate the set of vectors.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion

This Class represents all quaternions (unit or non-unit) It possesses a Normalize() method to make a given quaternion unit The Rotate(TVector3&) and Rotation(TVector3&) methods can be used even for a non-unit quaternion, in that case, the proper normalization is applied to perform the rotation.

A TRotation constructor exists than takes a quaternion for parameter (even non-unit), in that cas the proper normalisation is applied.
