\section{Quaternion}
\mynote{I hate the naming convention for the real part.}
\subsection{Definition}
The values are called

\quat{} = q_i + \mathrm{i} q_x + \mathrm{j} q_y + \mathrm{k} q_z
 = \begin{pmatrix} q_i \\q_x\\q_y\\q_z\end{pmatrix}

\subsection{Other}
\subsubsection*{$\norm{\quat{}}$ Norm}
Returns the 2-norm of a quaternion
\begin{equation}
n = \norm{\quat{}} = \sqrt{\quat{}\comp{\quat{}}} = \sqrt{\quat i^2 + \quat x^2 + \quat y^2 + \quat z^2}
\end{equation}
\inHfile{INT32\_QUAT\_NORM(n, q)}{pprz\_algebra\_int}
\inHfile{FLOAT\_QUAT\_NORM(n, q)}{pprz\_algebra\_float}
It is also possible to directly normalise the quaternion
\begin{equation}
\quat{} := \frac{\quat{}}{\norm{\quat{}}}
\end{equation}
\inHfile{INT32\_QUAT\_NORMALISE(q)}{pprz\_algebra\_int}
\inHfile{FLOAT\_QUAT\_NORMALISE(q)}{pprz\_algebra\_float}

\subsection*{Making the real value positive}
It is possible to invert the quaternion if its real value is negative
\begin{equation}
\quat{} = \left\lbrace \begin{matrix}
\quat{} \quad \quat i>0 \\
-\quat{} \quad \quat i<0
\end{matrix} \right.
\end{equation}

\inHfile{FLOAT\_QUAT\_WRAP\_SHORTEST(q)}{pprz\_algebra\_float}

\subsection*{Derivative}
Calculates the derivative of a quaternion using the rates. The resulting quaternion still needs to be normalized
\begin{equation}
\dot{\quat{}} = -\tfrac 1 2 \mat \Omega(\ra{}) \quatprod \quat{}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\dot{\quat{}} = -\tfrac 1 2 \begin{pmatrix} 
  0		&  \ra p &  \ra q &  \ra r	\\
-\ra p	&	0	 & -\ra r &  \ra q	\\
-\ra q	&  \ra r &	0	  & -\ra p	\\
-\ra r	& -\ra q &  \ra p &		0
\end{pmatrix}
\multiplication \quat{}
\end{equation}
\inHfile{FLOAT\_QUAT\_DERIVATIVE(qd, r, q)}{pprz\_algebra\_float}
You can also use a method, which slightly normalizes the quaternion by itself. The intention is that you calculate a quaternion, which represents the difference to a unit quaternion
\begin{eqnarray}
\Delta n = \norm{\norm{\quat{}}}_2-1 \\
\Delta \quat {} = \Delta n \multiplication \quat{}.
\end{eqnarray}
Now you substract this difference from the result
\begin{eqnarray}
\dot{\quat{}} = -\tfrac 1 2 \mat \Omega(\ra{}) \quatprod \quat{} - \Delta \quat {} \\
\dot{\quat{}} = -\tfrac 1 2 \mat \Omega(\ra{}) \quatprod \quat{} - \Delta n \multiplication \quat{} \\
\dot{\quat{}} = -\tfrac 1 2 \left( 2 \Delta n \eye + \mat \Omega(\ra{}) \right) \quatprod \quat{}
\end{eqnarray}
leading to
\begin{equation}
\dot{\quat{}} = -\tfrac 1 2 \begin{pmatrix} 
2 \Delta n&  \ra p &  \ra q &  \ra r	\\
-\ra p	&2 \Delta n& -\ra r &  \ra q	\\
-\ra q	&  \ra r &2 \Delta n & -\ra p	\\
-\ra r	& -\ra q &  \ra p &2 \Delta n
\end{pmatrix}
\multiplication \quat{}
\end{equation}
