Cloud/cloud compare - rotation

[ziga8]

Hello,

I didn't find any similar question on the forum so I decided to ask it.
I have two clouds (for example two boxes), one is data (or reference) and other on is rotated (for example; 5 deegres around X-axis). The program registrate clouds really well, but is there any kind of chance that program shows rotation of the model (I know that I rotate it fo 5°, so I need a confirmation from the program)?

I hope you understand!
Thank you!

Best regards, Žiga.

Apart from the resulting transformation matrix (that appears in the console) you won't get any such information. You could try to transform this matrix in the vector/angle format (if the rotation is really simple, you should get what you are looking for).

Thank you for the fast answer!
I'll figure out something:)

One more question:)

What's "your" definition of transformation matrix? I can't find it anywhere. Do you have any source link or something?
Thank you!

Best regards, Žiga.

Oups, I forgot to reply to your last question ;)

For the records, the 'Transformation' matrix is a 4x4 matrix with a rotation matrix included in the 3x3 upper left part and a 3D translation in the upper part of the last column. The bottom right element is always 1 for consistency.

See for instance http://www.fastgraph.com/makegames/3drotation/ (Tr).
