A Lie group
\begin_inset Formula $G$
\end_inset
is a manifold that possesses a smooth group operation.
Associated with it is a Lie Algebra
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset
which, loosely speaking, can be identified with the tangent space at the
identity and completely defines how the groups behaves around the identity.
There is a mapping from
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset
back to
\begin_inset Formula $G$
\end_inset
, called the exponential map
\begin_inset Formula \[
\exp:\gg\rightarrow G\]
\end_inset
and a corresponding inverse
\begin_inset Formula \[
\log:G\rightarrow\gg\]
\end_inset
that maps elements in G to an element in
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset
.
For
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset
-dimensional matrix Lie groups, the Lie algebra
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset
is isomorphic to
\begin_inset Formula $\mathbb{R}^{n}$
\end_inset
, and we can define the map
\begin_inset Formula \[
\hat{}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow\gg\]
\end_inset
\begin_inset Formula \[
\hat{}:x\rightarrow\xhat\]
\end_inset
which maps
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset
-vectors
\begin_inset Formula $x\in$
\end_inset
\begin_inset Formula $\Rn$
\end_inset
to elements of
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset
.
In the case of matrix Lie groups, the elements
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$
\end_inset
of
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset
are
\begin_inset Formula $n\times n$
\end_inset
matrices.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Below we frequently make use of the equality
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_map
\end_layout
\end_inset
\begin_inset Formula \[
ge^{\xhat}g^{-1}=e^{\Ad g{\xhat}}\]
\end_inset
where
\begin_inset Formula $\Ad g:\gg\rightarrow\mathfrak{\gg}$
\end_inset
is a map parameterized by a group element
\begin_inset Formula $g$
\end_inset
.
The intuitive explanation is that a change
\begin_inset Formula $\exp\left(\xhat\right)$
\end_inset
defined around the orgin, but applied at the group element
\begin_inset Formula $g$
\end_inset
, can be written in one step by taking the adjoint
\begin_inset Formula $\Ad g{\xhat}$
\end_inset
of
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$
\end_inset
.
In the case of a matrix group the ajoint can be written as

\begin_inset Formula \[

\end_inset
and hence we have
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \[
Te^{\xhat}T^{-1}=e^{T\xhat T^{-1}}\]
\end_inset
where both
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$
\end_inset
are
\begin_inset Formula $n\times n$
\end_inset
matrices for an
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset

Below we introduce the most important Lie groups that we deal with.

Derivatives of Mappings
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The derivatives for
\emph on
inverse, compose
\emph default
, and
\emph on
between
\emph default
can be derived from Lie group principles.
\begin_inset Note Note

\begin_layout Plain Layout
To find the derivatives of these functions, we look for the necessary
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
delta
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the tangent space of the function
\emph on
output
\emph default
\begin_inset Formula $f(g)$
\end_inset
that corresponds to a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
delta
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the tangent space of the function
\emph on
input
\emph default
\begin_inset Formula $g$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\end_inset
Specifically, to find the derivative of a function
\begin_inset Formula $f\left(g\right)$
\end_inset
, we want to find the Lie algebra element
\begin_inset Formula $\yhat\in\gg$
\end_inset
, that will result from changing
\begin_inset Formula $g$
\end_inset
using
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$
\end_inset
, also in exponential coordinates:
\begin_inset Formula \[
f\left(g\right)e^{\yhat}=f\left(ge^{\xhat}\right)\]
\end_inset
Calculating these derivatives requires that we know the form of the function
\begin_inset Formula $f$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Starting with
\series bold
inverse
\series default
, i.e.,
\begin_inset Formula $f(g)=g^{-1}$
\end_inset
, we have
\begin_inset Formula \begin{align}
g^{-1}e^{\yhat} & =\left(ge^{\xhat}\right)^{-1}=e^{-\xhat}g^{-1}\nonumber \\
e^{\yhat} & =ge^{-\xhat}g^{-1}=e^{\Ad g\left(-\xhat\right)}\nonumber \\
\yhat & =\Ad g\left(-\xhat\right)\label{eq:Dinverse}\end{align}
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In other words, and this is very intuitive in hindsight, the inverse is
just negation of
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$
\end_inset
, along with an adjoint to make sure it is applied in the right frame!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\series bold
Compose
\series default
can be derived similarly.
Let us define two functions to find the derivatives in first and second
arguments:
\begin_inset Formula \[
f_{1}(g)=gh\mbox{ and }f_{2}(h)=gh\]
\end_inset
The latter is easiest, as a change
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$
\end_inset
in the second argument
\begin_inset Formula $h$
\end_inset
simply gets applied to the result
\begin_inset Formula $gh$
\end_inset
:
\begin_inset Formula \begin{align}
f_{2}(h)e^{\yhat} & =f_{2}\left(he^{\xhat}\right)\nonumber \\
ghe^{\yhat} & =ghe^{\xhat}\nonumber \\
\yhat & =\xhat\label{eq:Dcompose2}\end{align}
\end_inset
The derivative for the first argument is a bit trickier:
\begin_inset Formula \begin{align}
f_{1}(g)e^{\yhat} & =f_{1}\left(ge^{\xhat}\right)\nonumber \\
ghe^{\yhat} & =ge^{\xhat}h\nonumber \\
e^{\yhat} & =h^{-1}e^{\xhat}h=e^{\Ad{h^{-1}}\xhat}\nonumber \\
\yhat & =\Ad{h^{-1}}\xhat\label{eq:Dcompose1}\end{align}
\end_inset
In other words, to apply a change
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$
\end_inset
in
\begin_inset Formula $g$
\end_inset
we first need to undo
\begin_inset Formula $h$
\end_inset
, then apply
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$
\end_inset
, and then apply
\begin_inset Formula $h$
\end_inset
again.
All can be done in one step by simply applying
\begin_inset Formula $\Ad{h^{-1}}\xhat$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Finally, let us find the derivative of
\series bold
between
\series default
, defined as
\begin_inset Formula $between(g,h)=compose(inverse(g),h)$
\end_inset
.
The derivative in the second argument
\begin_inset Formula $h$
\end_inset
is similarly trivial:
\begin_inset Formula $\yhat=\xhat$
\end_inset
.
The first argument goes as follows:
\begin_inset Formula \begin{align}
f_{1}(g)e^{\yhat} & =f_{1}\left(ge^{\xhat}\right)\nonumber \\
g^{-1}he^{\yhat} & =\left(ge^{\xhat}\right)^{-1}h=e^{\left(-\xhat\right)}g^{-1}h\nonumber \\
e^{\yhat} & =\left(h^{-1}g\right)e^{\left(-\xhat\right)}\left(h^{-1}g\right)^{-1}=e^{\Ad{\left(h^{-1}g\right)}\left(-\xhat\right)}\nonumber \\
\yhat & =\Ad{\left(h^{-1}g\right)}\left(-\xhat\right)=\Ad{between\left(h,g\right)}\left(-\xhat\right)\label{eq:Dbetween1}\end{align}
\end_inset
Hence, now we undo
\begin_inset Formula $h$
\end_inset
and then apply the inverse
\begin_inset Formula $\left(-\xhat\right)$
\end_inset
in the
\begin_inset Formula $g$
\end_inset
frame.

The Lie group
\begin_inset Formula $\SOthree$
\end_inset
is a subgroup of the general linear group
\begin_inset Formula $GL(3)$
\end_inset
of
\begin_inset Formula $3\times3$
\end_inset
invertible matrices.
Its Lie algebra
\begin_inset Formula $\sothree$
\end_inset
is the vector space of
\begin_inset Formula $3\times3$
\end_inset
skew-symmetric matrices.
The exponential map can be computed in closed form using Rodrigues' formula.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Since
\begin_inset Formula $\SOthree$
\end_inset
is a three-dimensional manifold,
\begin_inset Formula $\sothree$
\end_inset
is isomorphic to
\begin_inset Formula $\Rthree$
\end_inset
and we define the map
\begin_inset Formula \[
\hat{}:\Rthree\rightarrow\sothree\]
\end_inset
\begin_inset Formula \[
\hat{}:\omega\rightarrow\what=\Skew{\omega}\]
\end_inset
which maps 3-vectors
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset
to skew-symmetric matrices
\begin_inset Formula $\Skew{\omega}$
\end_inset
:
\begin_inset Formula \[
\Skew{\omega}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & -\omega_{z} & \omega_{y}\\
\omega_{z} & 0 & -\omega_{x}\\
-\omega_{y} & \omega_{x} & 0\end{array}\right]\]
\end_inset
For every
\begin_inset Formula $3-$
\end_inset
vector
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset
there is a corresponding rotation matrix
\begin_inset Formula \[
R=e^{\Skew{\omega}}\]
\end_inset
and this is defines the canonical parameterization of
\begin_inset Formula $\SOthree$
\end_inset
, with
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset
known as the canonical or exponential coordinates.
It is equivalent to the axis-angle representation for rotations, where
the unit vector
\begin_inset Formula $\omega/\left\Vert \omega\right\Vert $
\end_inset
defines the rotation axis, and its magnitude the amount of rotation
\begin_inset Formula $\theta$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
We can prove the following identity for rotation matrices
\begin_inset Formula $R$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula \begin{eqnarray}
R\Skew{\omega}R^{T} & = & R\Skew{\omega}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3}\end{array}\right]\nonumber \\
& = & R\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
\omega\times a_{1} & \omega\times a_{2} & \omega\times a_{3}\end{array}\right]\nonumber \\
& = & \left[\begin{array}{ccc}
a_{1}(\omega\times a_{1}) & a_{1}(\omega\times a_{2}) & a_{1}(\omega\times a_{3})\\
a_{2}(\omega\times a_{1}) & a_{2}(\omega\times a_{2}) & a_{2}(\omega\times a_{3})\\
a_{3}(\omega\times a_{1}) & a_{3}(\omega\times a_{2}) & a_{3}(\omega\times a_{3})\end{array}\right]\nonumber \\
& = & \left[\begin{array}{ccc}
\omega(a_{1}\times a_{1}) & \omega(a_{2}\times a_{1}) & \omega(a_{3}\times a_{1})\\
\omega(a_{1}\times a_{2}) & \omega(a_{2}\times a_{2}) & \omega(a_{3}\times a_{2})\\
\omega(a_{1}\times a_{3}) & \omega(a_{2}\times a_{3}) & \omega(a_{3}\times a_{3})\end{array}\right]\nonumber \\
& = & \left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & -\omega a_{3} & \omega a_{2}\\
\omega a_{3} & 0 & -\omega a_{1}\\
-\omega a_{2} & \omega a_{1} & 0\end{array}\right]\nonumber \\
& = & \Skew{R\omega}\label{eq:property1}\end{eqnarray}
\end_inset
where
\begin_inset Formula $a_{1}$
\end_inset

\begin_inset Formula $a_{2}$
\end_inset
, and
\begin_inset Formula $a_{3}$
\end_inset
are the
\emph on
rows
\emph default
of
\begin_inset Formula $R$
\end_inset
.
Above we made use of the orthogonality of rotation matrices and the triple
product rule:
\begin_inset Formula \[
a(b\times c)=b(c\times a)=c(a\times b)\]
\end_inset
Hence, given property
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:property1"
\end_inset
, the adjoint map for
\begin_inset Formula $\sothree$
\end_inset
simplifies to
\begin_inset Formula \[
\Ad R{\Skew{\omega}}=R\Skew{\omega}R^{T}=\Skew{R\omega}\]
\end_inset
and this can be expressed in exponential coordinates simply by rotating
the axis
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset
to
\begin_inset Formula $R\omega$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As an example, to apply an axis-angle rotation
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset
to a point
\begin_inset Formula $p$
\end_inset
in the frame
\begin_inset Formula $R$

\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
First transform
\begin_inset Formula $p$

\begin_inset Formula \[
q=Re^{\Skew{\omega}}R^{T}\]
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Immediately apply the transformed axis-angle transformation
\begin_inset Formula $\Ad R{\Skew{\omega}}=\Skew{R\omega}$

\begin_inset Formula \[

Now, we will

This can be written as a rotation of a point,
\begin_inset Formula \[
l=R\left(\begin{array}{c}

\begin_inset Formula \[
b'=b-R_{2}^{T}t^{w}\]
\end_inset
Again, we need to redo the derivatives, as R is incremented from the right.
The first argument is incremented from the left, but the result is incremented
on the right:
\begin_inset Formula \begin{eqnarray*}
R'(I+\Omega')=(AB)(I+\Omega') & = & (I+\Skew{S\omega})AB\\
I+\Omega' & = & (AB)^{T}(I+\Skew{S\omega})(AB)\\
\Omega' & = & R'^{T}\Skew{S\omega}R'\\
\Omega' & = & \Skew{R'^{T}S\omega}\\
\omega' & = & R'^{T}S\omega\end{eqnarray*}
\end_inset
For the second argument
\begin_inset Formula $R$
\end_inset
we now simply have:
\begin_inset Formula \begin{eqnarray*}
AB(I+\Omega') & = & AB(I+\Omega)\\
\Omega' & = & \Omega\\
\omega' & = & \omega\end{eqnarray*}
\end_inset
The scalar derivatives can be found by realizing that
\begin_inset Formula \[
\left(\begin{array}{c}
a'\\
b'\\
...\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}
a\\
b\\
0\end{array}\right)-R^{T}t^{w}\]
\end_inset
where we don't care about the third row.
Hence
\begin_inset Formula \[
\frac{\partial(\left(R(I+\Omega_{2})\right)^{T}t^{w})}{\partial\omega}=-\frac{\partial(\Omega_{2}R^{T}t^{w})}{\partial\omega}=-\Skew{R^{T}t^{w}}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & R_{3}^{T}t^{w} & -R_{2}^{T}t^{w}\\
-R_{3}^{T}t^{w} & 0 & R_{1}^{T}t^{w}\\
... & ... & 0\end{array}\right]\]

\emph on
Our
\emph default
model is
\begin_inset Formula \[
p^{c}=R\left(p^{w}-t\right)\]
\end_inset
i.e.,
\begin_inset Formula $R$
\end_inset
is from camera to world, and
\begin_inset Formula $t$
\end_inset
is the camera location in world coordinates.
The objective function is
\begin_inset Formula \begin{equation}
\frac{1}{2}\sum\left(p^{c}-R(p^{w}-t)\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\sum\left(p^{c}-Rp^{w}+Rt\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\sum\left(p^{c}-Rp^{w}-t'\right)^{2}\label{eq:J}\end{equation}
\end_inset
where
\begin_inset Formula $t'=-Rt$
\end_inset
is the location of the origin in the camera frame.
Taking the derivative with respect to
\begin_inset Formula $t'$
\end_inset
and setting to zero we have
\begin_inset Formula \[
\sum\left(p^{c}-Rp^{w}-t'\right)=0\]
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Formula \begin{equation}
t'=\frac{1}{n}\sum\left(p^{c}-Rp^{w}\right)=\bar{p}^{c}-R\bar{p}^{w}\label{eq:t}\end{equation}
\end_inset
here
\begin_inset Formula $\bar{p}^{c}$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $\bar{p}^{w}$
\end_inset
are the point cloud centroids.
Substituting back into
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:J"
\end_inset
, we get
\begin_inset Formula \[
\frac{1}{2}\sum\left(p^{c}-R(p^{w}-t)\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\sum\left(\left(p^{c}-\bar{p}^{c}\right)-R\left(p^{w}-\bar{p}^{w}\right)\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\sum\left(\hat{p}^{c}-R\hat{p}^{w}\right)^{2}\]
\end_inset
Now, to minimize the above it suffices to maximize (see CVOnline)
\begin_inset Formula \[
\mathop{trace}\left(R^{T}C\right)\]
\end_inset
where
\begin_inset Formula $C=\sum\hat{p}^{c}\left(\hat{p}^{w}\right)^{T}$
\end_inset
is the correlation matrix.
Intuitively, the cloud of points is rotated to align with the principal
axes.
This can be achieved by SVD decomposition on
\begin_inset Formula $C$
\end_inset
\begin_inset Formula \[
C=USV^{T}\]
\end_inset
and setting
\begin_inset Formula \[
R=UV^{T}\]
\end_inset
Clearly, from
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:t"
\end_inset
we then also recover the optimal
\begin_inset Formula $t$
\end_inset
as
\begin_inset Formula \[
t=\bar{p}^{w}-R^{T}\bar{p}^{c}\]
