Conversion between quaternions and Euler angles

Spatial rotations in three dimensions can be parametrized using both Euler angles and unit quaternions. This article explains how to convert between the two representations. Actually this simple use of "quaternions" was first presented by Euler some seventy years earlier than Hamilton to solve the problem of magic squares. For this reason the dynamics community commonly refers to quaternions in this application as "Euler parameters". (Wikipedia).

Computing Euler Angles: Tracking Attitude Using Quaternions

In this video we continue our discussion on how to track the attitude of a body in space using quaternions. The quaternion method is similar to the Euler Kinematical Equations and Poisson’s Kinematical Equations in that it consumes rate gyro information to compute Euler angles. However,

Euler's Formula for the Quaternions

In this video, we will derive Euler's formula using a quaternion power, instead of a complex power, which will allow us to calculate quaternion exponentials such as e^(i+j+k). If you like quaternions, this is a pretty neat formula and a simple generalization of Euler's formula for complex
