22 ## Derivative of a quaternion. |
|
|
23 ## |
|
|
24 ## Let Q be a quaternion to transform a vector from a fixed frame to |
|
|
25 ## a rotating frame. If the rotating frame is rotating about the |
|
|
26 ## [x, y, z] axes at angular rates [wx, wy, wz], then the derivative |
|
|
27 ## of Q is given by |
|
|
28 ## |
|
|
29 ## @example |
|
|
30 ## Q' = qderivmat (omega) * Q |
|
|
31 ## @end example |
|
|
32 ## |
|
|
33 ## If the passive convention is used (rotate the frame, not the vector), |
|
|
34 ## then |
|
|
35 ## |
|
|
36 ## @example |
|
|
37 ## Q' = -qderivmat (omega) * Q |
|
|
38 ## @end example |
|
|
39 ## @end deftypefn |
