Calculate 3D angles?
显示 更早的评论
I have a 40x12 matrix in MatLab. The first three columns represent the (x,y,z) coordinates of the hip, columns 4-6 represent the (x,y,z) coordinates of the knee, and columns 7-9 represent the (x,y,z) coordinates of the ankle. I want to calculate the angle formed between the hip-knee and knee-angle segment.
I know that I can simply use Pythagorean theorem for x,y,z to get the lengths and then use acos to get the angle, but I'd like to do it in a more advanced way with vectors!!!
1) How can I turn certain rows and columns of data from my big matrix into a vector?
2) How can I use those vectors (hip-knee and knee-ankle) to calculate a 3D angle?
Thank you so much!

1). you can do this in numerous ways, depending on how you want you vector to be.
ex: this code takes the first 3 hip coordinates and seperates them to a different vector, HipX, HipY, and HipZ respectively
%data=excel file of 40x12
data=xlsread('excelfile.xls');
HipX=excelfile(:,1);
HipY=excelfile(:,2);
HipZ=excelfile(:,3);
