Status:
STD 2005/06/07
Code:
1657
Concept definition:
Given a right-handed orthonormal 3D coordinate system bound to an <
OBJECT
>, where the first axis of the coordinate system is directed through the front of the <
OBJECT
> and the second axis is directed through the right side of the <
OBJECT
>, the yaw angle is the rotation about the third axis (where the third axis is directed to the bottom of the <
OBJECT
>), with the positive rotation angle specified using the right-hand rule.
