This article is about rotations in 3D space.
Representations
The most natural representation of rotations are Quaternions. However rotations can also be represented in various other forms.
See https://www.andre-gaschler.com/rotationconverter/ to convert between representations
Angle Axis
Also known as axis-angle
Rotation Vector
Euler Angles
Quaternion
See Quaternion.
Matrix
A \(3\times 3\) matrix is the most convenient form of a rotation since applying the rotation to a vector is simply a matrix multiplication.
Construction
This section is on converting between different forms of rotations.
How to construct a rotation.
See http://www.euclideanspace.com/maths/geometry/rotations/conversions/index.htm for a list of conversions.
Angle Axis to Matrix
Apply Wikipedia: Rodrigues' rotation formula
Suppose \(\mathbf{k}=(k_x, k_y, k_z)\) is the vector around which you want to rotate.
Let
\[
\mathbf{K} = [\mathbf{k}]_\times =
\begin{pmatrix}
0 & -k_z & k_y\\
k_z & 0 & -k_x\\
-k_y & k_x & 0
\end{pmatrix}
\]
Then our rotation matrix is:
\[
\begin{equation}
\mathbf{R} = \mathbf{I} + (\sin\theta)\mathbf{K} + (1-\cos\theta)\mathbf{K}^2
\end{equation}
\]
Angle Axis to Quaternion
Based on http://www.euclideanspace.com/maths/geometry/rotations/conversions/angleToQuaternion/index.htm
\[ \begin{align} q_x &= k_x * \sin(\theta/2)\\ q_y &= k_y * \sin(\theta/2)\\ q_z &= k_z * \sin(\theta/2)\\ q_w &= \cos(\theta/2) \end{align} \]
