Let's assume we get rvecs and tvecs via cv.estimatePoseSingleMarkers()

Then going through each marker, we can get the 1x3 vectors like this (found in online samples):

const rotation = [rvecs.doublePtr(0, i)[0], rvecs.doublePtr(0, i)[1], rvecs.doublePtr(0, i)[2]];
const translation = [tvecs.doublePtr(0, i)[0], tvecs.doublePtr(0, i)[1], tvecs.doublePtr(0, i)[2]];

How can this be converted so it's compatible with gl-matrix's fromRotationTranslation?

Specifically - it seems gl-matrix expects the rotation in a quaternion... I see some sample C++ code to do that conversion here, but it assumes a Rodrigues function in OpenCV to get from the 1x3 vector to a 3x3 rotation matrix - I think?

The Rodrigues function seems to be missing in OpenCV.js... and it's not clear to me what exactly cv.estimatePoseSingleMarkers() is returning in each rvec (is it euler radians? something else?)

you can construct a quat directly from the rvec, using fromEuler(), see here:

is a Rodrigues vector the same as Euler? If so - why is it called "Rodrigues" ? (wanted to upvote your answer in the meantime - but don't have enough karma yet :)

no, Rodrigues makes a 3x3 rotation Mat from a 1x3 vector, or the other way round, and it's named after it's inventor ;) (while fromEuler() makes a quat from a rotation vector)

kind of you, but i really don't need more karma here, heeh ;)

Cool! So the vector I get from cv.estimatePoseSingleMarkers() is in euler radians?

good point, but sorry, idk (never used aruco)

oh but that's the question. edited to make that clearer

well, it can only be rad or deg. fromEuler() expects degrees (and internally converts to radians)

maybe you have to print out some measurements. if you see any number larger than +-pi, then you know it's deg ;)

ah okay - I thought maybe there's some other possibility like the 3 values being something other than Euler. The docs on estimatePoseSingleMarkers aren't very clear - it simply says "see Rodrigues" o_O. I'll play around with it later and see what happens. Thanks!
