Please note that I am not referring to Euler angles of the form (α,β,γ). I am referring to the axis-angle representation, in which a unit vector indicates the direction axis of a rotation and a scalar the magnitude of the rotation.
Let $(\hat{n_1},\theta_1)$ refer to the first rotation and $(\hat{n_2},\theta_2)$ refer to the second rotation. What is the value of the first rotation followed by the second rotation, in axis-angle representation?
I understand that the composition of two rotations represented by quaternions $q_1$ and $q_2$ is equal to their product $q_2q_1$. Is there a way to find the composition of axis-angle rotations (without having to convert them to quaternions, multiply them, and convert them back to axis-angle) in a similar manner? Is there a simplified formula for this operation?
