## Background
The following sections cover the necessary mathematical to cover the fusion process of the IMU data.

### General 3D rotations
A general 3D rotation matrix can be obtained from these three matrices using matrix multiplication.  For example, the product:

$$
\begin{align}
  R = R_z(\alpha) \, R_y(\beta) \, R_x(\gamma) &=
  {\begin{bmatrix}
    \cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha & 0 \\
    \sin \alpha &  \cos \alpha & 0 \\
              0 &            0 & 1 \\
  \end{bmatrix}}
  {\begin{bmatrix}
     \cos \beta & 0 & \sin \beta \\
              0 & 1 &          0 \\
    -\sin \beta & 0 & \cos \beta \\
  \end{bmatrix}}
  {\begin{bmatrix}
    1 &  0          &            0 \\
    0 & \cos \gamma & -\sin \gamma \\
    0 & \sin \gamma &  \cos \gamma \\
  \end{bmatrix}} \\
  &= \begin{bmatrix}
        \cos\alpha\cos\beta &
          \cos\alpha\sin\beta\sin\gamma - \sin\alpha\cos\gamma &
          \cos\alpha\sin\beta\cos\gamma + \sin\alpha\sin\gamma \\
        \sin\alpha\cos\beta &
          \sin\alpha\sin\beta\sin\gamma + \cos\alpha\cos\gamma &
          \sin\alpha\sin\beta\cos\gamma - \cos\alpha\sin\gamma \\
       -\sin\beta & \cos\beta\sin\gamma & \cos\beta\cos\gamma \\
  \end{bmatrix}
\end{align}</math>$$

represents a rotation whose yaw, pitch, and roll angles are $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$, respectively. More formally, it is an intrinsic rotation whose Tait–Bryan angles are  $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$, about axes  $x$, $y$ and $z$, respectively. [^1]

> [!IMPORTANT]
> It is clear from looking at the last row of this matrix, that the yaw angle ($\alpha$) can not be found. This means that the yaw angle has no impact on the $z$ component. Therefore, the yaw angle has no observability with the accelerometer.

> [!WARNING]
> Gimbal Lock: when the pitch angle becomes +/- 90 degrees, the second and third elements of that row are always zero. This means that no change in roll will have an affect on the orientation.

### Integrating Angular Velocities
When dealing with rotation matrices and angular velocities, we can find the updated rotation matrices by calculating the matrix exponential. [^2]

$$ R_{t+1} = R_t \exp (\Omega dt) $$

where $\Omega$ represents a skew matrix:

$$
\Omega =
\begin{bmatrix}
    0 & -\omega_z & \omega_y \\
    \omega_z & 0 & -\omega_x \\
    -\omega_y & \omega_x & 0
\end{bmatrix}
$$

and $\exp\Omega$ is the matrix exponential found through:

$$
\Omega = V \Lambda V^{-1}
$$

where $V$ is the matrix of eigenvectors, and $\Lambda$ is the diagonal matrix of eigenvalues:

$$
\Lambda =
\begin{bmatrix}
    \lambda_1 & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & \lambda_2 & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & \lambda_3
\end{bmatrix}
$$

Since $\Omega$ is diagonalizable, we use the property of the matrix exponential:

$$
e^{\Omega dt} = V e^{\Lambda dt} V^{-1}
$$

where the exponential of a diagonal matrix is computed as:

$$
e^\Lambda =
\begin{bmatrix}
    e^{\lambda_1} & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & e^{\lambda_2} & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & e^{\lambda_3}
\end{bmatrix}
$$

Thus, the final result is:

$$
e^{\Omega dt} = V
\begin{bmatrix}
    e^{\lambda_1 dt} & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & e^{\lambda_2 dt} & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & e^{\lambda_3 dt}
\end{bmatrix}
V^{-1}
$$

    ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection="3d")
    pose_0.plot(ax)
    pose_1.plot(ax)

    for t in np.arange(0.0, 1.01, 0.1):
        pose_interp = se3.interpolate(pose_1, pose_0, t=t)
        pose_interp.plot(ax)
        logger.info(f"Interpolated Pose at t={t:.2f}: {pose_interp}")
