  2. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    A basic 3D rotation (also called elemental rotation) is a rotation about one of the axes of a coordinate system. The following three basic rotation matrices rotate vectors by an angle θ about the x -, y -, or z -axis, in three dimensions, using the right-hand rule —which codifies their alternating signs.

  3. Kabsch algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabsch_algorithm

    Let P and Q be two sets, each containing N points in .We want to find the transformation from Q to P.For simplicity, we will consider the three-dimensional case (=).The sets P and Q can each be represented by N × 3 matrices with the first row containing the coordinates of the first point, the second row containing the coordinates of the second point, and so on, as shown in this matrix:

  4. Rodrigues' rotation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigues'_rotation_formula

    In the theory of three-dimensional rotation, Rodrigues' rotation formula, named after Olinde Rodrigues, is an efficient algorithm for rotating a vector in space, given an axis and angle of rotation. By extension, this can be used to transform all three basis vectors to compute a rotation matrix in SO(3) , the group of all rotation matrices ...

    3D visualization of a sphere and a rotation about an Euler axis (^) by an angle of In 3-dimensional space, according to Euler's rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle about a fixed axis (called the Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point. [6]

  6. Axis–angle representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis–angle_representation

    The angle θ and axis unit vector e define a rotation, concisely represented by the rotation vector θe.. In mathematics, the axis–angle representation parameterizes a rotation in a three-dimensional Euclidean space by two quantities: a unit vector e indicating the direction of an axis of rotation, and an angle of rotation θ describing the magnitude and sense (e.g., clockwise) of the ...

  7. Helmert transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmert_transformation

    The third step consists of the application of a rotation matrix, multiplication with the scale factor = + (with a value near 1) and the addition of the three translations, c x, c y, c z. The coordinates of a reference system B are derived from reference system A by the following formula (position vector transformation convention and very small ...

  8. Euler–Rodrigues formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Rodrigues_formula

    In mathematics and mechanics, the Euler–Rodrigues formula describes the rotation of a vector in three dimensions. It is based on Rodrigues' rotation formula , but uses a different parametrization. The rotation is described by four Euler parameters due to Leonhard Euler .

  9. Active and passive transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_and_passive...

    A rotation of the vector through an angle θ in counterclockwise direction is given by the rotation matrix: = (⁡ ⁡ ⁡ ⁡), which can be viewed either as an active transformation or a passive transformation (where the above matrix will be inverted), as described below.
