normalize¶

This function normalizes a quaternion or an array of quaternions. It scales each quaternion to have a unit norm (magnitude of 1). Quaternions with a norm of zero are left unchanged.

Syntax¶

function q = normalize(q)

Calling Pattern¶

mr.aux.quat.normalize(...)

Parameters¶

Required Parameters¶

Name	Type	Description	Example	Units
`q`	double	A quaternion or an array of quaternions. Each quaternion is represented as a row vector of four elements [w, x, y, z].	`[0.707, 0, 0, 0.707]`

Returns¶

Output	Type	Description
`q`	double	The normalized quaternion or array of quaternions. Each quaternion will have a magnitude of approximately 1 (or remain unchanged if the original magnitude was zero).

Examples¶

q_normalized = mr.aux.quat.normalize([1, 2, 3, 4]);
q_array_normalized = mr.aux.quat.normalize([0.707, 0, 0, 0.707; 0, 0.707, 0, 0.707]);
