Description
A rotation function q=f(s) that interpolates n rotations using a "quaternion spline" of generic order.
For order 1 (linear) this boils down to a classical SLERP interpolation. For higher orders, this operates as in the paper "A C^2-continuous B-spline quaternion curve interpolating a given sequence of solid orientations", Myoung-Jun Kim, Myung-Soo Kim. 1995. DOI:10.1109/CA.1995.393545. Note, except for order 1 (linear) the rotation does not pass through control points, just like for positions in Bspline, except for first and last point. Exact interpolation requires the 'inversion' of the control points (to do).

| const std::vector< ChQuaternion<> > & | mrotations, | ||
| ChVectorDynamic<> * | mknots = 0 |

| ) |
Constructor from a given array of control points; each control point is a rotation to interpolate.
Input data is copied. If the knots are not provided, a uniformly spaced knot vector is made.
- Parameters
-
morder order p: 1= linear, 2=quadratic, etc. mrotations control points, size n. Each is a rotation. Required: at least n >= p+1 mknots knots, size k. Required k=n+p+1. If not provided, initialized to uniform.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChFunctionRotation.
◆ ComputeKnotUfromU()
|
inline |
When using Evaluate() etc.
you need U parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert U->u, where u is in knot range, calling this:
◆ ComputeUfromKnotU()
|
inline |
When using Evaluate() etc.
you need U parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert u->U, where u is in knot range, calling this:
◆ Get_q()
|
overridevirtual |
Return the q value of the function, at s, as q=f(s).
Parameter s always work in 0..1 range, even if knots are not in 0..1 range. So if you want to use s in knot range, use ComputeUfromKnotU().
Implements chrono::ChFunctionRotation.
◆ SetClosed()
| void chrono::ChFunctionRotation_spline::SetClosed | ( | bool | mc | ) |
Set as closed periodic spline: start and end rotations will match at 0 and 1 abscyssa as q(0)=q(1), and the Evaluate() and GetTangent() functions will operate in periodic way (abscyssa greater than 1 or smaller than 0 will wrap to 0..1 range).
The closure will change the knot vector (multiple start end knots will be lost) and will create auxiliary p control points at the end that will be wrapped to the beginning control points.
◆ SetSpaceFunction()
|
inline |
Sets the function u=u(s) telling how the curvilinear parameter of the spline changes in s (time).
Otherwise, by default, is a linear ramp, so evaluates the spline from begin at s=0 to end at s=1
◆ SetupData()
|
virtual |
Initial easy setup from a given array of rotations (quaternion spline control points).
Input data is copied. If the knots are not provided, a uniformly spaced knot vector is made.
- Parameters
-
morder order p: 1= linear, 2=quadratic, etc. mrotations rotations, size n. Required: at least n >= p+1 mknots knots, size k. Required k=n+p+1. If not provided, initialized to uniform.
