RLS — Name of Orientation

  • Key: RLS-38
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13120
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Samsung Electronics ( Yeonho Kim)
  • Summary:

    In Table 69, 70, 41, the name of orientation (roll, pitch, yaw) is not relevant to the definition of the orientation that is described below each table.

    It would be better to be removed from the tables.

  • Disposition: Resolved — RLS 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Extend common data formats each have two different interpretations so that they
    can cover both of xyz-Euler's angle representation and roll-pitch-yaw
    representation of orientation (two orientation representations for each Cartesian,
    Polar, and Geodetic coordinate system). We thus have three common data
    formats (syntax) each with two different RoLo data specifications (semantics).
    We also add some figures in the specification to avoid misunderstanding or
    ambiguity regarding the definition of position and orientation for each common
    data format.
    Also, based on issue 13999, change the types for timestamps in the common
    data formats from a real number to two integers, which correspond to standard
    UNIX C structure, time_t. Normally, the first integer indicates the number of
    seconds elapsed from the epoch, and the second one indicates sub-seconds.
    The unit of sub-seconds is normally nano second that is compatible to most
    recent POSIX C time_t struct.
