Extract rotation angles from the rotation matrix.

Namespace:  AForge.Math
Assembly:  AForge.Math (in AForge.Math.dll) Version: 2.2.5.0 (2.2.5.0)

Syntax

C#
public void ExtractYawPitchRoll(
	out float yaw,
	out float pitch,
	out float roll
)

Parameters

yaw
Type: System..::.Single %
Extracted rotation angle around Y axis in radians.
pitch
Type: System..::.Single %
Extracted rotation angle around X axis in radians.
roll
Type: System..::.Single %
Extracted rotation angle around Z axis in radians.

Remarks

Note:The routine assumes roll-pitch-yaw rotation order when extracting rotation angle. Using extracted angles with the CreateFromYawPitchRoll(Single, Single, Single) should provide same rotation matrix.

Note:The method assumes the provided matrix represent valid rotation matrix.

Sample usage:

CopyC#
// assume we have a rotation matrix created like this
float yaw   = 10.0f / 180 * Math.PI;
float pitch = 30.0f / 180 * Math.PI;
float roll  = 45.0f / 180 * Math.PI;
Matrix3x3 rotationMatrix = Matrix3x3.CreateFromYawPitchRoll( yaw, pitch, roll );
// ...
// now somewhere in the code you may want to get rotation
// angles back from a matrix assuming same rotation order
float extractedYaw;
float extractedPitch;
float extractedRoll;
rotation.ExtractYawPitchRoll( out extractedYaw, out extractedPitch, out extractedRoll );
