Roll-Pitch-Yaw
From Robotics
The roll, pitch and yaw angles are three angles defined in regard of absolute transformation to describe the orientation of an object, mainly 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 vehicles)
