I am not sure if I have to ask this question in the ROS forum or here. Please direct me, if that is the case.
I am running a Gazebo simulation of a camera, that is placed on top of a movable mount. I am able to obtain the pose of the camera, with respect to the fixed base. However, I noticed that Gazebo uses the following coordinate axes convention.
Front: +x-axis
Top: +z-axis
Left: +y-axis
I am running a mapping algorithm, and by default, most mapping algorithms require the input in the following format.
Front: +z-axis
Top: -y-axis
Right: +x-axis
Consequently, all the camera poses (4x4 matrices) that I obtained, do not sit well with this convention. While it is easy for me to correct my translation values, I am having troubles with the rotation matrix.
Suppose I have the rotation matrix that I obtained from Gazebo, which is a 3x3 matrix, how can I obtain the new rotation matrix in the convention that I require. What is the transformation for the same?
In essence, how can I get the 4x4 camera poses in the convention that the mapping algorithm demands?
