Convert Quaternion to Matrix of Quaternion Parts
Convert a quaternion representation to parts using the parts
function.
Create a two-element column vector of quaternions by specifying the parts.
quat = quaternion([1:4;5:8])
quat = 2x1 quaternion array
1 + 2i + 3j + 4k
5 + 6i + 7j + 8k
Recover the parts from the quaternion matrix using the parts
function. The parts are returned as separate output arguments, each the same size as the input 2-by-1 column vector of quaternions.
[qA,qB,qC,qD] = parts(quat)
qA = 2×1
1

qB = 2×1

qC = 2×1

Input Arguments
quat
— Quaternion
quaternion
object | array of quaternion
objects
Quaternion, specified as a quaternion
object or an array of quaternion
objects of any dimensionality.
Output Arguments
[a,b,c,d]
— Quaternion parts
numeric array
Quaternion parts, returned as four comma-separated numeric arrays:
a
, b
, c
, and
d
. Each part is the same size as
quat
.
Data Types: single
| double
