Constructor Details

FieldRotation

public FieldRotation(T q0,
 T q1,
 T q2,
 T q3,
 boolean needsNormalization)

Build a rotation from the quaternion coordinates.

A rotation can be built from a normalized quaternion, i.e. a quaternion for which q₀² + q₁² + q₂² + q₃² = 1. If the quaternion is not normalized, the constructor can normalize it in a preprocessing step.

Note that some conventions put the scalar part of the quaternion as the 4^th component and the vector part as the first three components. This is not our convention. We put the scalar part as the first component.

Parameters:

q0 - scalar part of the quaternion

q1 - first coordinate of the vectorial part of the quaternion

q2 - second coordinate of the vectorial part of the quaternion

q3 - third coordinate of the vectorial part of the quaternion

needsNormalization - if true, the coordinates are considered not to be normalized, a normalization preprocessing step is performed before using them

FieldRotation

public FieldRotation(FieldVector3D<T> axis,
 T angle,
 RotationConvention convention)
              throws MathIllegalArgumentException

Build a rotation from an axis and an angle.

We use the convention that angles are oriented according to the effect of the rotation on vectors around the axis. That means that if (i, j, k) is a direct frame and if we first provide +k as the axis and π/2 as the angle to this constructor, and then apply the instance to +i, we will get +j.

Another way to represent our convention is to say that a rotation of angle θ about the unit vector (x, y, z) is the same as the rotation build from quaternion components { cos(-θ/2), x * sin(-θ/2), y * sin(-θ/2), z * sin(-θ/2) }. Note the minus sign on the angle!

On the one hand this convention is consistent with a vectorial perspective (moving vectors in fixed frames), on the other hand it is different from conventions with a frame perspective (fixed vectors viewed from different frames) like the ones used for example in spacecraft attitude community or in the graphics community.

Parameters:

axis - axis around which to rotate

angle - rotation angle.

convention - convention to use for the semantics of the angle

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - if the axis norm is zero

FieldRotation

public FieldRotation(Field<T> field,
 Rotation r)

Build a FieldRotation from a Rotation.

Parameters:

field - field for the components

r - rotation to convert

FieldRotation

public FieldRotation(T[][] m,
 double threshold)
              throws MathIllegalArgumentException

Build a rotation from a 3X3 matrix.

Rotation matrices are orthogonal matrices, i.e. unit matrices (which are matrices for which m.m^T = I) with real coefficients. The module of the determinant of unit matrices is 1, among the orthogonal 3X3 matrices, only the ones having a positive determinant (+1) are rotation matrices.

When a rotation is defined by a matrix with truncated values (typically when it is extracted from a technical sheet where only four to five significant digits are available), the matrix is not orthogonal anymore. This constructor handles this case transparently by using a copy of the given matrix and applying a correction to the copy in order to perfect its orthogonality. If the Frobenius norm of the correction needed is above the given threshold, then the matrix is considered to be too far from a true rotation matrix and an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

m - rotation matrix

threshold - convergence threshold for the iterative orthogonality correction (convergence is reached when the difference between two steps of the Frobenius norm of the correction is below this threshold)

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - if the matrix is not a 3X3 matrix, or if it cannot be transformed into an orthogonal matrix with the given threshold, or if the determinant of the resulting orthogonal matrix is negative

FieldRotation

public FieldRotation(FieldVector3D<T> u1,
 FieldVector3D<T> u2,
 FieldVector3D<T> v1,
 FieldVector3D<T> v2)
              throws MathRuntimeException

Build the rotation that transforms a pair of vectors into another pair.

Except for possible scale factors, if the instance were applied to the pair (u₁, u₂) it will produce the pair (v₁, v₂).

If the angular separation between u₁ and u₂ is not the same as the angular separation between v₁ and v₂, then a corrected v'₂ will be used rather than v₂, the corrected vector will be in the (±v₁, +v₂) half-plane.

Parameters:

u1 - first vector of the origin pair

u2 - second vector of the origin pair

v1 - desired image of u1 by the rotation

v2 - desired image of u2 by the rotation

Throws:

MathRuntimeException - if the norm of one of the vectors is zero, or if one of the pair is degenerated (i.e. the vectors of the pair are collinear)

FieldRotation

public FieldRotation(FieldVector3D<T> u,
 FieldVector3D<T> v)
              throws MathRuntimeException

Build one of the rotations that transform one vector into another one.

Except for a possible scale factor, if the instance were applied to the vector u it will produce the vector v. There is an infinite number of such rotations, this constructor choose the one with the smallest associated angle (i.e. the one whose axis is orthogonal to the (u, v) plane). If u and v are collinear, an arbitrary rotation axis is chosen.

Parameters:

u - origin vector

v - desired image of u by the rotation

Throws:

MathRuntimeException - if the norm of one of the vectors is zero

FieldRotation

public FieldRotation(RotationOrder order,
 RotationConvention convention,
 T alpha1,
 T alpha2,
 T alpha3)

Build a rotation from three Cardan or Euler elementary rotations.

Cardan rotations are three successive rotations around the canonical axes X, Y and Z, each axis being used once. There are 6 such sets of rotations (XYZ, XZY, YXZ, YZX, ZXY and ZYX). Euler rotations are three successive rotations around the canonical axes X, Y and Z, the first and last rotations being around the same axis. There are 6 such sets of rotations (XYX, XZX, YXY, YZY, ZXZ and ZYZ), the most popular one being ZXZ.

Beware that many people routinely use the term Euler angles even for what really are Cardan angles (this confusion is especially widespread in the aerospace business where Roll, Pitch and Yaw angles are often wrongly tagged as Euler angles).

Parameters:

order - order of rotations to compose, from left to right (i.e. we will use r1.compose(r2.compose(r3, convention), convention))

convention - convention to use for the semantics of the angle

alpha1 - angle of the first elementary rotation

alpha2 - angle of the second elementary rotation

alpha3 - angle of the third elementary rotation

Method Details

getIdentity

public static <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
FieldRotation<T> getIdentity(Field<T> field)

Get identity rotation.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the field elements

Parameters:

field - field for the components

Returns:

a new rotation

revert

public FieldRotation<T> revert()

Revert a rotation. Build a rotation which reverse the effect of another rotation. This means that if r(u) = v, then r.revert(v) = u. The instance is not changed.

Returns:

a new rotation whose effect is the reverse of the effect of the instance

getQ0

public T getQ0()

Get the scalar coordinate of the quaternion.

Returns:

scalar coordinate of the quaternion

getQ1

public T getQ1()

Get the first coordinate of the vectorial part of the quaternion.

Returns:

first coordinate of the vectorial part of the quaternion

getQ2

public T getQ2()

Get the second coordinate of the vectorial part of the quaternion.

Returns:

second coordinate of the vectorial part of the quaternion

getQ3

public T getQ3()

Get the third coordinate of the vectorial part of the quaternion.

Returns:

third coordinate of the vectorial part of the quaternion

getAxis

public FieldVector3D<T> getAxis(RotationConvention convention)

Get the normalized axis of the rotation.

Note that as getAngle() always returns an angle between 0 and π, changing the convention changes the direction of the axis, not the sign of the angle.

Parameters:

convention - convention to use for the semantics of the angle

Returns:

normalized axis of the rotation

See Also:

• FieldRotation(FieldVector3D, CalculusFieldElement, RotationConvention)

getAngle

public T getAngle()

Get the angle of the rotation.

Returns:

angle of the rotation (between 0 and π)

See Also:

• FieldRotation(FieldVector3D, CalculusFieldElement, RotationConvention)

getAngles

public T[] getAngles(RotationOrder order,
 RotationConvention convention)

Get the Cardan or Euler angles corresponding to the instance.

The equations show that each rotation can be defined by two different values of the Cardan or Euler angles set. For example if Cardan angles are used, the rotation defined by the angles a₁, a₂ and a₃ is the same as the rotation defined by the angles π + a₁, π - a₂ and π + a₃. This method implements the following arbitrary choices:

• for Cardan angles, the chosen set is the one for which the second angle is between -π/2 and π/2 (i.e its cosine is positive),
• for Euler angles, the chosen set is the one for which the second angle is between 0 and π (i.e its sine is positive).

The algorithm used here works even when the rotation is exactly at the the singularity of the rotation order and convention. In this case, one of the angles in the singular pair is arbitrarily set to exactly 0 and the second angle is computed. The angle set to 0 in the singular case is the angle of the first rotation in the case of Cardan orders, and it is the angle of the last rotation in the case of Euler orders. This implies that extracting the angles of a rotation never fails (it used to trigger an exception in singular cases up to Hipparchus 3.0).

Parameters:

order - rotation order to use

convention - convention to use for the semantics of the angle

Returns:

an array of three angles, in the order specified by the set

the matrix corresponding to the instance

applyTo

public FieldRotation<T> applyTo(FieldRotation<T> r)

Apply the instance to another rotation.

Calling this method is equivalent to call compose(r, RotationConvention.VECTOR_OPERATOR).

Parameters:

Returns:

a new rotation which is the composition of r by the instance

compose

public FieldRotation<T> compose(FieldRotation<T> r,
 RotationConvention convention)

Compose the instance with another rotation.

If the semantics of the rotations composition corresponds to a vector operator convention, applying the instance to a rotation is computing the composition in an order compliant with the following rule : let u be any vector and v its image by r1 (i.e. r1.applyTo(u) = v). Let w be the image of v by rotation r2 (i.e. r2.applyTo(v) = w). Then w = comp.applyTo(u), where comp = r2.compose(r1, RotationConvention.VECTOR_OPERATOR).

If the semantics of the rotations composition corresponds to a frame transform convention, the application order will be reversed. So keeping the exact same meaning of all r1, r2, u, v, w and comp as above, comp could also be computed as comp = r1.compose(r2, RotationConvention.FRAME_TRANSFORM).

convention - convention to use for the semantics of the angle

compose

public FieldRotation<T> compose(Rotation r,
 RotationConvention convention)

Let w be the image of v by rotation r2 (i.e. r2.applyTo(v) = w). Then w = comp.applyTo(u), where comp = r2.compose(r1, RotationConvention.VECTOR_OPERATOR).

If the semantics of the rotations composition corresponds to a frame transform convention, the application order will be reversed. So keeping the exact same meaning of all r1, r2, u, v, w and comp as above, comp could also be computed as comp = r1.compose(r2, RotationConvention.FRAME_TRANSFORM).

Parameters:

r - rotation to apply the rotation to

convention - convention to use for the semantics of the angle

public FieldRotation<T> composeInverse(FieldRotation<T> r,

If the semantics of the rotations composition corresponds to a vector operator convention, applying the inverse of the instance to a rotation is computing the composition in an order compliant with the following rule : let u be any vector and v its image by r1 (i.e. r1.applyTo(u) = v). Let w be the inverse image of v by r2 (i.e. r2.applyInverseTo(v) = w). Then w = comp.applyTo(u), where comp = r2.composeInverse(r1).

If the semantics of the rotations composition corresponds to a frame transform convention, the application order will be reversed, which means it is the innermost rotation that will be reversed. So keeping the exact same meaning of all r1, r2, u, v, w and comp as above, comp could also be computed as comp = r1.revert().composeInverse(r2.revert(), RotationConvention.FRAME_TRANSFORM).

distance

public static <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T distance(FieldRotation<T> r1,
 FieldRotation<T> r2)

Compute the distance between two rotations.

The distance is intended here as a way to check if two rotations are almost similar (i.e. they transform vectors the same way) or very different. It is mathematically defined as the angle of the rotation r that prepended to one of the rotations gives the other one: $r_1(r)=r_2$

This distance is an angle between 0 and π. Its value is the smallest possible upper bound of the angle in radians between r₁(v) and r₂(v) for all possible vectors v. This upper bound is reached for some v. The distance is equal to 0 if and only if the two rotations are identical.

Comparing two rotations should always be done using this value rather than for example comparing the components of the quaternions. It is much more stable, and has a geometric meaning. Also comparing quaternions components is error prone since for example quaternions (0.36, 0.48, -0.48, -0.64) and (-0.36, -0.48, 0.48, 0.64) represent exactly the same rotation despite their components are different (they are exact opposites).

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the field elements

Parameters:

r1 - first rotation

r2 - second rotation

Returns:

distance between r1 and r2
