Q2EA
converts from Quaternions (Q) to Euler Angles (EA) based on D. M.
Henderson (1977).
Q2EA.Xiao
is the algorithm by J. Xiao (2013) for the Princeton Vision
Toolkit - included here to allow reproducible research.
Q2EA(Q, EulerOrder='zyx', tol = 10 * .Machine$double.eps, ichk = FALSE,
ignoreAllChk = FALSE)
Q |
Quaternion (Q) vector [q1, q2, q3, q4]. |
EulerOrder |
Euler Order (xyx, yzy, zxz, xzx, yxy, zyz, xyz, yzx, zxy, xzy, yxz, zyx). |
tol |
Tolerance from deviations from unity for the determinant of rotation matrices or the the vector length for unitary vectors. |
ichk |
Logical, FALSE=disables near-singularity warnings. |
ignoreAllChk |
Logical, TRUE=disables all warnings and error checks (use with caution!). |
Euler Angles (EA) xyz <=> x(roll) y(pitch) z(yaw) Type 1 Rotations (Tait-Bryan angles): xyz - xzy - yxz - yzx - zyx - zxy Singular if second rotation angle is -90 or 90 degrees. Type 2 Rotations (proper Euler angles): xyx - xzx - yxy - yzy - zxz - zyz Singular if second rotation angle is 0 or 180 degrees.
Euler angles [psi, theta, phi] range from -90 to 90 degrees. Tait-Bryan angles [psi, theta, phi] range from 0 to 180 degrees. Angles about Euler vectors range from 0 to 180 degrees.
Euler Angles (EA) vector [psi, theta, phi].
