Android中SensorManager.getRotationMatrix函数原理解释

    SensorManager是Android中的一个类,其有一个函数getRotationMatrix,可以计算出旋转矩阵,进而通过getOrientation求得设备的方向(航向角、俯仰角、横滚角)。函数getRotationMatrix的源码如下所示,源码中虽然对该函数整体进行了解释,但是对代码中各个参数的计算没有说明,如为什么加速度的数值要和磁力计的数值做差乘。在网上各种搜索后,找到一段老外对这个问题的英文解释,很好的回答了上述问题。大意翻译(包括自己的理解)如下:加速度数值和磁力计数值均是向量,手机水平放置时,加速度读数实际上就是重力向量,方向是竖直朝下的;磁力计表示本地的磁场,不考虑环境影响及磁偏角的话,认为磁场方向是水平南北朝向的。因此,代码中首先对加速度和磁力计数据做了一个差乘,得出一个水平东西方向的向量(差乘的定义)。经过这个运算,本来只有一个平面的向量,变成了三个三维立体平面的向量,从而可以用来计算设备的方向。源码中后面又做了一次差乘,是用计算出的水平东西方向的向量和重力向量做的差乘,这次运算重新得出一个水平南北方向的向量,最后旋转矩阵中用这三个向量(两个计算出的水平向量、一个重力向量)构成。

2、英文原文解释

If I understand your problem correctly you want your phone to know its 3D orientation. You need at least two vectors to do that. The xyz accelerometer produces a gravity vector that goes straight down. An xyz magnetometer can provide a second vector that is horizontally towards magnetic north and vertically downward in the northen hemisphere. The cross-product of these two vectors will be horizontal the magnetic east-west directions and the cross-product between the east-west vector and the gravity vector will be horizontal in the magnetic north-south directions. Formulas exist for converting magnetic to geographical north although I don‘t know them offhand. An xyz accelerometer by itself produces just the gravity vector, which could allow you to use your cell phone as an electronic bi-directional level (lateral and axial to the orientation of the accelerometer).
