/**
 * <p>
 * Linear interpolation between two {@link georegression.struct.se.Se3_F64} transforms.  It is assumed that
 * the rotation able between the two transforms is {@code < 180} degrees.  If more than 180 degrees than it will chose
 * the wrong direction to rotate.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The rotation and translation are interpolated separately.  Translation has straight forward linear interpolation
 * applied to it.  Rotations are interpolated by finding the axis of rotation and the rotation angle.  Then
 * the angle is linearly interpolated and the rotation matrix found by the angle and axis.
