EV2EA: Convert from Euler Vectors to Euler Angles

In RSpincalc: Conversion Between Attitude Representations of DCM, Euler Angles, Quaternions, and Euler Vectors

Description

EV2EA converts from Euler Vectors (EV) to Euler Angles (EA).

Usage

EV2EA(EV, EulerOrder='zyx', tol = 10 * .Machine$double.eps, ichk = FALSE, 
ignoreAllChk = FALSE)

Arguments

EV	Euler Vectors (EV) vector [m1, m2, m3, MU].
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!).

Details

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.

Value

Euler Angles (EA) vector [psi, theta, phi].
