Detailed Description

CoordinateRotation is a subclass of RotationBase that uses the passive convention. Passive rotations act to transform vector components between coordinate systems. The passive convention is the standard for describing orientation in inertial navigation and aerospace applications.

Coordinate rotations are also commonly known as direction cosine matrices (DCM) or coordinate transformation matrices.

Active vs passive rotation convention

In the passive convention (used by this class), rotations act to transform the components of physical vectors to different coordinate systems. This contrasts with the active convention used by the Rotation class, where rotations act to rotate an object relative to a fixed coordinate system.

A passive coordinate rotation matrix is the transpose of the equivalent active rotation matrix: $ C_{i}^{b} = R_{i \rightarrow b}^{T} $

Some references use the terminology alibi (active) and alias (passive). Reference [02], Reference [05], and Reference [11] discuss active vs. passive transforms in greater detail.

See also: Rotation for active rotations.
