Detailed Description

Defines a quaternion and its basic operations.

This class allows to compute a quaternion from a rotation matrix using either vpQuaternionVector(const vpRotationMatrix &) contructor or buildFrom() method.

It also defines common operations on a quaternion such as:

• multiplication (scalar and quaternion)
• addition
• substraction.
