Detailed Description

Utilities for interacting with a "matrix exponential map vector" rotation parameterization/formalism, where rotation is represented as a 3D vector that is turned into a rotation matrix by applying Rodrigues' formula that resembles a matrix exponential.

Based on discussion in section 2.2.3 of:

Lepetit, V., & Fua, P. (2005). Monocular Model-Based 3D Tracking of Rigid Objects. Foundations and Trends® in Computer Graphics and Vision, 1(1), 1–89. http://doi.org/10.1561/0600000001

Not to be confused with the quaternion-related exponential map espoused in:

Grassia, F. S. (1998). Practical Parameterization of Rotations Using the Exponential Map. Journal of Graphics Tools, 3(3), 29–48. http://doi.org/10.1080/10867651.1998.10487493
