Description

Quaternion Product Jacobian

The Quaternion Product Jacobian block computes the Jacobian of the quaternion product, q = q1⊗q2, with respect to either q1 or q2. This Jacobian can be useful for computing extended Kalman filters, for example.

Let q1 = (a1, b1, c1, d1) and q = (a, b, c, d). Then the Jacobian, J, of q with respect to q1 is:

Jacobian with respect to q1

The Jacobian with respect to q2 is similar. Hence, the output of the block is a 4x4 matrix where each column is the partial derivative of the quaternion product with respect to the component of q1 corresponding to that column.

Input Ports

q1

The left-hand quaternion in the product.

q2

The right-hand quaternion in the product.

Output Ports

J

The output is the Jacobian of the quaternion product q1q2.

Data Type Support

This block accepts inputs of type double. The block output is of type double.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Quaternion Product Jacobian

Derivative with respect to

Selects the input quaternion with respect to which the derivative is computed. The other input is assumed to be independent.
