so2

SO(2) rotation

Since R2022b

    Description

    The so2 object represents an SO(2) rotation in 2-D.

    For more information, see the 2-D Orthonormal Rotation Matrix section.

    This object acts like a numerical matrix, enabling you to compose rotations using multiplication and division.

    Creation

    Description

    rotation = so2 creates an SO(2) rotation representing an identity rotation with no translation.

    rotation=[1001]

    rotation = so2(rotation) creates an SO(2) rotation rotation representing a pure rotation defined by the orthonormal rotation rotation.

    rotation=[r11r12r21r22]

    rotation = so2(transformation) creates an SO(2) rotation from the SE(2) transformation transformation.

    example

    rotation = so2(angle,"theta") creates an SO(2) rotation rotation from a rotation angle about the z-axis angle.

    Note

    If any inputs contain more than one rotation, the output rotation is an N-element array of so2 objects corresponding to each of the N input rotations.

    Input Arguments

    expand all

    Orthonormal rotation, specified as a 2-by-2 matrix, a 3-by-3-by-N array, a scalar so2 object, or an N-element array of so2 objects. N is the total number of rotations.

    If rotation is an array, the resulting number of created so2 objects in the output array is equal to N.

    Example: eye(2)

    Data Types: single | double

    Homogeneous transformation, specified as a 3-by-3 matrix, a 3-by-3-N array, a scalar se3 object, or an N-element array of se2 objects. N is the total number of transformations specified.

    If transformation is an array, the resulting number of created so2 objects is equal to N.

    Example: eye(3)

    Data Types: single | double

    z-axis rotation angle, specified as an N-by-M matrix. Each element of the matrix is an angle, in radians, about the z-axis. The so2 object creates an so2 object for each angle.

    If angle is an N-by-M matrix, the resulting number of created so2 objects is equal to N.

    The rotation angle is counterclockwise positive when you look along the axis toward the origin.

    Data Types: single | double

    Examples

    collapse all

    Define an angle rotation of pi/4 and a xy translation of [6 4].

    angle = pi/4;

    Create an SO(2) rotation using the angle.

    R = so2(angle,"theta")
