) As QuaternionD

public:
static QuaternionD Exp(
	QuaternionD quaternion
)

Return Value

Important: This method requires that the quaternion is a pure quaternion. A pure quaternion is defined by q = (0, uθ) where u is a unit vector.

The exponential of a quaternion q is defines as:

e^q = (cosθ + usinθ)

The result is returned as a quaternion with the form: (cos(θ), usin(θ))
