Absolute orientation with the QUEST algorithm

Efficient Absolute Orientation Solver

Vous suivez désormais cette soumission

The function computes the orientation and translation for the transformation between
two corresponding 3D point sets pi and qi so that they are related by qi = R*pi + t.
It is based on Shuster's QUEST algorithm, a popular technique in astronautics for
estimating attitude, described in M.D. Shuster and S.D. Oh: "Three-Axis Attitude Determination from
Vector Observations", Journal of Guidance and Control, Vol. 4, No. 1, January–February 1981, pp. 70–77.

Additionally, I have a code for absolute orientation based on the FOAM algorithm:

1.3.0.1

Updated description

1.3.0.0

Fixed bug with the computation of the mean residual error.
Added quaternion to rotation matrix conversion without normalization.
Added test for singular rotation (i.e. +/-pi rotation around an arbitrary axis).

1.2.0.0

Compute the max eigenvalue from the QUEST characteristic polynomial
instead of the FOAM one previously used. Note that the two are equivalent
for infinitely precise arithmetic
