Discussion Overview
The discussion focuses on the conversion of yaw, pitch, and roll angles into spherical coordinates, specifically Theta and Phi. The context involves using a smartphone orientation sensor for a project that requires calculating the smartphone's normal vector projection.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation
Main Points Raised
- One participant requests guidance on how to derive Theta and Phi from yaw, pitch, and roll.
- Another participant emphasizes the need to define the orientation of the spherical coordinate system in relation to the yaw, pitch, and roll axes.
- A further clarification is sought regarding the meaning of "orient the spherical system in space."
- One participant specifies that yaw is around the Z axis, pitch is around the X axis, and roll is around the Y axis.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants have not reached a consensus, as the discussion involves clarifying definitions and relationships between the coordinate systems before proceeding with the calculations.
