the square singularity kernel on SO(3), kappa in (0, 1), its coefficients the Legendre functions of the second kind

Syntax

SO3SquareSingularityKernel(0.9)
SO3SquareSingularityKernel(halfwidth=10*degree)

Description

A nonnegative, mean-one smoothing kernel on orientation space. The parameter kappa lies between zero and one; values closer to one give a sharper peak. Its harmonic coefficients are computed from Legendre functions of the second kind.

Evaluate psi at t=cos(omega/2), the cosine of half the rotation angle. Use psi.halfwidth() for the angular width in radians and psi.bandwidth for the maximum degree of its harmonic representation.

Keywords

keyword default description
kappa   concentration in (0, 1), with larger values giving a sharper peak
halfwidth   angular halfwidth in radians, taking precedence over kappa
