Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class itk::Versor< T >

A templated class holding a unit quaternion.

Versor is a templated class that holds a unit quaternion. The difference between versors and quaternions is that quaternions can represent rotations and scale changes while versors are limited to rotations.

This class only implements the operations that maintain versors as a group, that is, any operations between versors result in another versor. For this reason, addition is not defined in this class, even though it is a valid operation between quaternions.

template<typename T>
void itk::Versor< T >::Set ( x,
y,
z,
w 
)

Set the Versor from Quaternion components.

Warning
After assignment, the corresponding quaternion will be normalized in order to get a consistent Versor. Also, if the "w" component is negative, the four components will be negated in order to produce a quaternion where "w" is positive, since this is implicitly assumed in other sections of the code, in particular when "w" is computed from (x,y,z) via normalization. The reason why it is valid to negate all the components is that the rotation by angle $\theta$, is represented by $\sin(\frac{\theta}{2})$ in the (x,y,z) components and by $\cos(\frac{\theta}{2})$ in the "w" component. The rotation by any $\theta$ should be equivalent to a rotation by $\theta + n \times \pi$, therefore we should be able to replace $\sin(\frac{\theta}{2})$ with $\sin(\frac{\theta}{2} + n \times \pi )$ and $\cos(\frac{\theta}{2})$ with $\cos(\frac{\theta}{2} + n \times \pi )$. Considering that $\cos( n \times \pi ) = (-1)^{n}$ we can conclude that if we simultaneously change the signs of all the Versor components, the rotation that it represents remains unchanged.
template<typename T>
void itk::Versor< T >::Set ( const VectorType axis,
ValueType  angle 
)

Set the versor using a vector and angle the unit vector parallel to the given vector will be used. The angle is expected in radians.

template<typename T>
void itk::Versor< T >::Set ( const VectorType axis)
