Converts directional cosine matrix into Euler angles, ZYZ active convention (rotating the object rather than the axes).
Syntax
[alpha,beta,gamma]=dcm2euler(dcm)
OR
angles=dcm2euler(dcm)
Parameters
dcm - directional cosine matrix
Outputs
alpha, beta, gamma - Euler angles in ZYZ active con-
vention, radians
angles - a row vector of Euler angles in
ZYZ active convention, ordered
as alpha, beta, gamma, in radians
Notes
The problem of recovering Euler angles from a DCM is, in general, ill-posed. This function is a product of considerable work, it has passed rigorous testing: it either returns a correct answer or gives an informative error. See the notes on rotation conventions for the basic definitions of rotations in Spinach.
The angles returned are those of the proper rotation that is nearest to the input in the Frobenius norm; that rotation is found in closed form through the dominant eigenvector of the Davenport matrix (I.Y. Bar-Itzhack, J. Guidance Control Dyn. 23 (2000) 1085), and the angles are extracted from the corresponding quaternion.
