The roll, pitch and yaw angles are three angles defined in regard of absolute transformation to describe the orientation of an object, generally vehicles, in three-dimensional space. In general the three angles can be described as follows:
- Yaw: Rotation around the vertical axis of the object or vehicle, respectively
- Pitch: Rotation around the lateral axis
- Roll: Rotation around the longitudinal axis (what is generally the movement axis of a vehicle)
There are different notations to define the axes of an object. Usually and in recent publications the vertical axis is the z-axis, the longitudal axis is x and then the lateral axis is the y-axis and directed to the left.
So the roll-pitch-yaw
