ReferenceFrameRotations.jl

This module contains functions related to 3D rotations of reference frames. It is used on a daily basis on projects at the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE).

Installation

This package can be installed using:

julia> Pkg.update()
julia> Pkg.add("ReferenceFrameRotations")

Status

This packages supports the following representations of 3D rotations:

  • Classical Rodrigues Parameters (CRP);
  • Direction Cosine Matrices (DCMs);
  • Euler Angle and Axis;
  • Euler Angles;
  • Modified Rodrigues Parameters (MRP); and
  • Quaternions.

All of those representations support rotation composition and inversion in this package.

Roadmap

This package will be continuously enhanced. Next steps will include API improvements, performance optimizations, and additional utilities for supported representations.
