**[ [API reference](https://brentyi.github.io/jaxlie) ]** **[
[PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/jaxlie/) ]**

`jaxlie` is a library containing implementations of Lie groups commonly used for
rigid body transformations, targeted at computer vision & robotics
applications written in JAX. Heavily inspired by the C++ library
[Sophus](https://github.com/strasdat/Sophus).

We implement Lie groups as high-level (data)classes:



Group
Description
Parameterization




jaxlie.SO2
Rotations in 2D.
(real, imaginary): unit complex (∈ S1)


jaxlie.SE2
Proper rigid transforms in 2D.
(real, imaginary, x, y): unit complex & translation


jaxlie.SO3
Rotations in 3D.
(qw, qx, qy, qz): wxyz quaternion (∈ S3)


jaxlie.SE3
Proper rigid transforms in 3D.
(qw, qx, qy, qz, x, y, z): wxyz quaternion & translation

Where each group supports:

- Forward- and reverse-mode AD-friendly **`exp()`**, **`log()`**,
**`adjoint()`**, **`apply()`**, **`multiply()`**, **`inverse()`**,
**`identity()`**, **`from_matrix()`**, and **`as_matrix()`** operations. (see
[./examples/se3_example.py](./examples/se3_basics.py))
- Taylor approximations near singularities.
- Helpers for optimization on manifolds (see
[./examples/se3_optimization.py](./examples/se3_optimization.py),
jaxlie.manifold.\*).
- Compatibility with standard JAX function transformations. (see
[./examples/vmap_example.py](./examples/vmap_example.py))
- Broadcasting for leading axes.
- (Un)flattening as pytree nodes.
- Serialization using [flax](https://github.com/google/flax).

We also implement various common utilities for things like uniform random
sampling (**`sample_uniform()`**) and converting from/to Euler angles (in the
`SO3` class).

### Misc

`jaxlie` was originally written when I was learning about Lie groups for our IROS 2021 paper
([link](https://github.com/brentyi/dfgo)):
