Abstract: This paper first introduces the basic mathematical properties and calculation rules of quaternion, then describes a method of transfer vector among all the methods of coordinate rotation, which is based on quaternion, and three methods of interpolation of it, and compares with the Euler angle. The paper also discusses the different effects of these algorithms to the coordinate conversion, and the differences in the time complexity for computer to finish them, and draws conclusions by simulation.

Key words: quaternion, coordinate rotation, interpolation, time complexity
