Hi Matt J,
Thanks for your consideration!
Yes, i know what you mean in order to implement easily for my problem. However, in limited space of the text, i can not explain why i need rotation matrices to describe movements of points. It is reason i just explain main idea of the cost function.
If you would like to know more, i can show the paper i read and want to implement, its title: "Embedded deformation for shape manipulation". Its cost function is expressed in section 4.
So, when applying LSQNONLIN, i am confused which option (1 or 2) i use for f(x)=[f{1}(x),f{2}(x),...,f{n}(x)]' ?
I am willing to receive any your suggestion for my case.
Best regards,
Toan
