From direction cosine matrix to Cardan angles - Two different Matlab codes, different results












0












$begingroup$


I have two Matlab codes to get the Cardan angles (ZXY sequence) starting from a given direction cosine matrix (dcm), but the results are different. Why?



The dcm is:



dcm = [0.5972   -0.7833   0.1729;
0.7990 0.5987 -0.0553;
-0.0592 0.1719 0.9832];


First code (alpha=angle around x, beta=angle around y, gamma=angle around z):



[gamma, alpha, beta] = dcm2angle(dcm,'ZXY');
% Result:
% -0.9277 -0.0553 -0.1741


Second code:



if abs(dcm(3,2)) ~= 1
alpha = asin(dcm(3,2));
%
if dcm(3,3) >= 0
beta = asin(-dcm(3,1)/cos(alpha));
else
beta = pi - asin(-dcm(3,1)/cos(alpha));
end
%
if dcm(2,2) >= 0
gamma = asin(-dcm(1,2)/cos(alpha));
else
gamma = pi - asin(-dcm(1,2)/cos(alpha));
end
end
% Result:
% 0.9192 0.1728 0.0601


The dcm for the sequence ZXY in terms of sin and cos is:

Thank you so much for your willingness.

    Just to check, apply also both methods on the transpose of the dcm matrix.

    You can get the beta and gamma values with less lines using beta = atan2(-dcm(3,1), dcm(3,3) and gamma = atan2(-dcm(1,2), dcm(2,2)).

    Hello @LutzL, I have to use the above code because my professor said that I have to implement the analitic procedure in my book. Anyway thank you for your suggestion and sorry for the delay of my reply.
