DCM2Q {RSpincalc}

Convert from Direction Cosine Matrix to rotation Quaternions

Description

DCM2Q converts from Direction Cosine Matrix (DCM) to Quaternions (Q).

Usage

DCM2Q(DCM, tol = 10 * .Machine$double.eps, ichk = FALSE, ignoreAllChk = FALSE)

Arguments

DCM

Direction Cosine Matrix (DCM) is a rotation matrix 3x3 (N=1) or an array 3x3xN

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!).

Value

Quaternion (Q) vector [q1, q2, q3, q4].
