Q-Method
We can see that in order to minimize J, we need to maximize g(R). This problem can be written in a better and more elegant way by representing rotation matrix R in terms of the quaternion

R can be written in terms of q as<math>R = (q_4^2-q^Tq)I+2qq^T-2q_4[[File:Equation30.png|frame|center]q \times]</math><br \>
Where [q x] is the cross product matrix associated with q

<math>g(\bar{q}) = \bar{q}^TKq</math><br \>
Where K is a 4x4 Matrix given by

<math>B = \sum w_k(v_{kb}v_{ki}^T)</math><br \>
<math>S = B+B^T</math><br \>
