Rename and register

[MaximeBouton]

It would be nice to register this package in the general registry, it would also be required if we want to register https://github.com/sisl/AutomotiveDrivingModels.jl

I think a necessary condition to register this package is to change the name, it is too generic.

Name Suggestions:

• Coordinates.jl
• ...

Coordinates.jl seems appropriate to me.

Although, looks like there's a related package: https://github.com/FugroRoames/CoordinateTransformations.jl

@mattuntergassmair suggested EuclideanGroupVectors.jl It is more specific than Coordinates.jl

[mattuntergassmair]

Yes I feel like Coordinates.jl could be anything, I don't think Vec.jl covers enough width to have that name. It seems to me that most of the stuff in there is related to Euclidean Groups and Vectors that are part of those groups. I'm not necessarily attached to EuclideanGroupVectors.jl but it seems to me that with the help of a hardcore mathematician / algebraist we may be able to find the common denominator of whatever is implemented. Some sort of "rotational symmetry group" or something.

[mattuntergassmair]

mainly quaternions seem to break the pattern since they may not be forming an Euclidean group - the details of that are beyond me

There is also all these: https://github.com/sisl/Vec.jl/blob/master/src/coordinate_transforms.jl They seem to be useful to Aerospace applications. It is a bunch of coordianate systems.

The JuliaGeo organization seem to have a much better support for those: https://github.com/JuliaGeo/Geodesy.jl

It makes me wonder if this whole package has a reason to live outside of AutomotiveDrivingModels.jl ?

[mattuntergassmair]

Sounds like it's a lot of different things together...

[MaximeBouton]

yeah :/ For the Automotive stuff, the useful components are VecE2, VecSE2 and all the geometry functions.
