Description
A rotation function q=f(s) that interpolates n rotations using a SQUAD spherical quadrangle interpolation between quaternions.
Differently from the ChFunctionRotationBSpline of order 3, this cubic interpolation really passes through the control points. In the original single-span SQUAD algorithm, 4 quaternions are used: the interpolation passes exactly in 1st and 4th, whereas 2nd and 3rd are 'magnetic' as ctrl points in splines; in our implementation the 2nd and 3rd are computed automatically given the sequence of the many SQUAD spans, per each span, enforcing continuity inter span.

| chrono::ChFunctionRotationSQUAD::ChFunctionRotationSQUAD | ( | 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
-
mrotations rotations, to interpolate. Required: at least n = 2. mknots knots, as many as control points. If not provided, initialized to uniform.

Return the derivative of the rotation function, at s, expressed as angular acceleration in local frame. Method to allow serialization of transient data to archives
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:
◆ GetQuat()
|
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::ChFunctionRotationSQUAD::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
◆ Setup()
|
virtual |
Initial easy setup from a given array of rotations (quaternion control points).
Input data is copied. If the knots are not provided, a uniformly spaced knot vector is made.
- Parameters
-
mrotations rotations, to interpolate. Required: at least n = 2. mknots knots, as many as control points. If not provided, initialized to uniform.
