point cloud rot in matlab
Show older comments
Hello Matlab,
want to ask regarding 3D Point cloud. we have points with X, Y, Z. We are totally new at this work. With MatLab we want to have few references for point cloud rot.
Any one have reference or solution etc?

It's truly impolite of you to close the question after someone has answered. If you keep closing the question it is sure that you won't get any help in the future.

xyz=xlsread('PointClouds.xlsx',3);
% Find the rotation axis
xyzc = mean(xyz,1);
xyzr = xyz-xyzc;
[~,S,V] = svd(xyzr,0);
s = diag(S);
if abs(diff(s(1:2))) < abs(diff(s(2:3)))
k = 3;
else
k = 1;
end
V = V(:,circshift(1:3,3-k));
xyzr = xyzr*V;
% Same as in this thread
% https://fr.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/435031-best-fit-rotation-axis-for-the-point-cloud?s_tid=prof_contriblnk
r=sqrt(sum(xyzr(:,1:2).^2,2));
z=xyzr(:,3);
P = polyfit(z,r,5);
zi = linspace(min(z),max(z),50);
ri = polyval(P,zi);
theta = linspace(0,2*pi,100);
[THETA,Z] = meshgrid(theta,zi);
R = polyval(P,Z);
[X,Y,Z] = pol2cart(THETA,R,Z);
% Rotate/shift back
[XYZ] = xyzc + [X(:),Y(:),Z(:)]*V';
X = reshape(XYZ(:,1),size(R));
Y = reshape(XYZ(:,2),size(R));
Z = reshape(XYZ(:,3),size(R));
close all
subplot(2,1,1);
plot3(xyz(:,1),xyz(:,2),xyz(:,3),'.');
axis equal
subplot(2,1,2);
surf(X,Y,Z);
axis equal
