==3D Orientation-Frame Alignment Problem==
==Orientation-Frame Alignment Problem==
An orientation frame are the columns of the <math>SO(3)</math> orientation matrix.   
An orientation frame are the columns of the <math>SO(3)</math> orientation matrix.   
In this problem, we assume we have <math>n</math> paired orientation frames, <math>\{p_k\}</math> and <math>\{r_k\}</math> which we want to align using quaternion <math>q</math>.
