Error in Rotations using quaternions
2005-04-13 09:57

Computing the i part, when groupz the z multiplied it gets
z*(qx*qz+ qw*qw+ qy*qw+ qz*qx) instead of z*(qx*qz+ qw*qy+ qy*qw+ qz*qx), and the errors goes down until the end

Thanks very much, I found the error you refer to and corrected it in:
http://www.euclideanspace.com/maths/algebra/realNormedAlgebra/quaternions/transforms/

I hope I have not used the incorrect result in anything else!
