Coordinate Systems
-
Scene Coordinate
- axis (m):
[x, y, z] - phi (deg): angle on the x-y plane. 0 deg is the positive x-axis, 90 deg is the positive y-axis
- theta (deg): angle on the z-x plane. 0 deg is the positive z-axis, 90 deg is the x-y plane
- azimuth (deg): azimuth -90 ~ 90 deg equal to phi -90 ~ 90 deg
- elevation (deg): elevation -90 ~ 90 deg equal to theta 180 ~ 0 deg
- axis (m):
-
Object’s Local Coordinate
- axis (m):
[x, y, z] - yaw (deg): rotation along the z-axis. Positive yaw rotates the object from the positive x-axis to the positive y-axis
- pitch (deg): rotation along the y-axis. Positive pitch rotates the object from the positive x-axis to the positive z-axis
- roll (deg): rotation along the x-axis. Positive roll rotates the object from the positive z-axis to the negative y-axis
- origin (m):
[x, y, z] - rotation (deg):
[yaw, pitch, roll] - rotation rate (deg/s):
[yaw rate, pitch rate, roll rate]
- axis (m):
