  2. Conversion between quaternions and Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_between...

    A direct formula for the conversion from a quaternion to Euler angles in any of the 12 possible sequences exists. [2] For the rest of this section, the formula for the sequence Body 3-2-1 will be shown. If the quaternion is properly normalized, the Euler angles can be obtained from the quaternions via the relations:

    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]

  4. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    The Euler angles are three angles introduced by Leonhard Euler to ... which is equivalent to the line of ... the rotation matrix calculation is the first step for ...

  5. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The user may choose to replace the inclination angle by its complement, the elevation angle (or altitude angle), measured upward between the reference plane and the radial line—i.e., from the reference plane upward (towards to the positive z-axis) to the radial line. The depression angle is the negative of the elevation angle.

  6. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    Then the angle of the rotation is the angle between v and Rv. A more direct method, however, is to simply calculate the trace : the sum of the diagonal elements of the rotation matrix. Care should be taken to select the right sign for the angle θ to match the chosen axis:

  7. 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 ...

  8. Spherical trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_trigonometry

    The sphere has a radius of 1, and so the side lengths and lower case angles are equivalent (see arc length). The angle A (respectively, B and C ) may be regarded either as the dihedral angle between the two planes that intersect the sphere at the vertex A , or, equivalently, as the angle between the tangents of the great circle arcs where they ...

  9. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    In an equilateral triangle, the 3 angles are equal and sum to 180°, therefore each corner angle is 60°. Bisecting one corner, the special right triangle with angles 30-60-90 is obtained. By symmetry, the bisected side is half of the side of the equilateral triangle, so one concludes sin ⁡ ( 30 ∘ ) = 1 / 2 {\displaystyle \sin(30^{\circ ...
