旋转的样条插值:Slerp方法的插值结果较为平庸,无法保证速度的光滑性和加速度的连续性,因而两端动作的拼接过程通常需要进行Spline插值。
Examples
>>> from scipy.spatial.transform import Rotation, RotationSpline
>>> import numpy as np
Define the sequence of times and rotations from the Euler angles:
>>> times = [0, 10, 20, 40]
>>> angles = [[-10, 20, 30], [0, 15, 40], [-30, 45, 30], [20, 45, 90]]
>>> rotations = Rotation.from_euler('XYZ', angles, degrees=True)
Create the interpolator object:
>>> spline = RotationSpline(times, rotations)
Interpolate the Euler angles, angular rate and acceleration:
>>> angular_rate = np.rad2deg(spline(times, 1))
>>> angular_acceleration = np.rad2deg(spline(times, 2))
>>> times_plot = np.linspace(times[0], times[-1], 100)
>>> angles_plot = spline(times_plot).as_euler('XYZ', degrees=True)
>>> angular_rate_plot = np.rad2deg(spline(times_plot, 1))
>>> angular_acceleration_plot = np.rad2deg(spline(times_plot, 2))
On this plot you see that Euler angles are continuous and smooth:
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> plt.plot(times_plot, angles_plot)
>>> plt.plot(times, angles, 'x')
>>> plt.title("Euler angles")
>>> plt.show()
The angular rate is also smooth:
>>> plt.plot(times_plot, angular_rate_plot)
>>> plt.plot(times, angular_rate, 'x')
>>> plt.title("Angular rate")
>>> plt.show()
The angular acceleration is continuous, but not smooth. Also note that the angular acceleration is not a piecewise-linear function, because it is different from the second derivative of the rotation vector (which is a piecewise-linear function as in the cubic spline).
>>> plt.plot(times_plot, angular_acceleration_plot)
>>> plt.plot(times, angular_acceleration, 'x')
