Finding roll, pitch and yaw angles

AI Thread Summary
To find the roll, pitch, and yaw angles that relate the sensor body frame to the local North East Down (NED) frame, the unit vectors for NED in Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed (ECEF) coordinates are defined. The vectors for North, East, and Down are derived from the given longitude and latitude. The discussion highlights the need for a clear diagram to visualize the transformation between frames. The user expresses confusion about the process and seeks guidance on how to proceed. A well-structured approach and diagram are essential for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


I have three angles that relate the sensory body frame to the Earth centered Earth fixed frame:
roll_ecef, pitch_ecef, yaw_ecef
I have the longitude and latitude.
Find the roll, pitch and yaw angles that relate the sensor body frame to the local North East Down frame.

Homework Equations


The unit vectors in local north, east, and down directions, as expressed in ECEF Cartesian coordinates:
N = [- cos(lon)*sin(lat)
- sin(lon)*sin(lat)
cos(lat)];
E = [- sin(lon)
cos(lon)
0];
D = [- cos(lon)*cos(lat)
-sin(lon)*cos(lat)
- sin(lat)];

The Attempt at a Solution


I have no idea :(
