void sampleUniformNear (State *state, const State *near, double distance) override
 To sample unit quaternions uniformly within some given distance, we sample a 3-vector from the R^3 tangent space. This vector is drawn uniformly random from a 3D ball centered at the origin with radius distance. The vector is then "wrapped" around S^3 to obtain a unit quaternion uniformly distributed around the identity quaternion within given distance. We pre-multiply this quaternion with the quaternion near to center the distribution around near.

◆ sampleGaussian()

void ompl::base::SO3StateSampler::sampleGaussian ( State state,
const State mean,
double  stdDev 
)
overridevirtual

Sample a state such that the expected distance between mean and state is stdDev.

To sample a unit quaternion from a Gaussian distribution, we sample a 3-vector from the R^3 tangent space using a 3D Gaussian with zero mean and covariance matrix equal to diag(stdDev^2, stdDev^2, stdDev^2). This vector is "wrapped" around S^3 to obtain a Gaussian quaternion with zero mean. We pre-multiply this quaternion with the quaternion mean to get the desired mean.

Implements ompl::base::StateSampler.
