Extra care needed for np.sin(theta) where theta = +np.pi or -np.pi ?
Hello,
In the so3.log
function
https://github.com/utiasSTARS/liegroups/blob/fe1d376b7d33809dec78724b456f01833507c305/liegroups/numpy/so3.py#L205
There's a division by np.sin(angle)
but there isn't a check to see if angle
is +np.pi
or -np.pi
. I understand that due to numerical precision, np.sin(np.pi) != 0.0
but I'm wondering if there needs to be some extra care taken here.
