Transforming accelerometer’s data from device’s coordinates to real world coordinates

by

Oki, I have worked this out mathematically myself so please bear with me.

If you want to translate an acceleration vector accelerationvalues into an acceleration vector trueacceleration expressed in real world’s coordinates, once you have azimuth,pitch and roll stored in a orientationvalues vector, just do the following:

                trueacceleration[0] =(float) (accelerometervalues[0]*(Math.cos(orientationvalues[2])*Math.cos(orientationvalues[0])+Math.sin(orientationvalues[2])*Math.sin(orientationvalues[1])*Math.sin(orientationvalues[0])) + accelerometervalues[1]*(Math.cos(orientationvalues[1])*Math.sin(orientationvalues[0])) + accelerometervalues[2]*(-Math.sin(orientationvalues[2])*Math.cos(orientationvalues[0])+Math.cos(orientationvalues[2])*Math.sin(orientationvalues[1])*Math.sin(orientationvalues[0])));
            trueacceleration[1] = (float) (accelerometervalues[0]*(-Math.cos(orientationvalues[2])*Math.sin(orientationvalues[0])+Math.sin(orientationvalues[2])*Math.sin(orientationvalues[1])*Math.cos(orientationvalues[0])) + accelerometervalues[1]*(Math.cos(orientationvalues[1])*Math.cos(orientationvalues[0])) + accelerometervalues[2]*(Math.sin(orientationvalues[2])*Math.sin(orientationvalues[0])+ Math.cos(orientationvalues[2])*Math.sin(orientationvalues[1])*Math.cos(orientationvalues[0])));
            trueacceleration[2] = (float) (accelerometervalues[0]*(Math.sin(orientationvalues[2])*Math.cos(orientationvalues[1])) + accelerometervalues[1]*(-Math.sin(orientationvalues[1])) + accelerometervalues[2]*(Math.cos(orientationvalues[2])*Math.cos(orientationvalues[1])));
