I'm trying to find rotation matrix for a plane from given 4 points $X_1 ... X_4$ that form a square. These points are fixed on a rigid square that can take any position in world coordinate system. I have only 3D coordinates (in world CS) $X_1 ... X_4$ of these points.
The algorithm that I am aware of is following:
- From each point subtract centroid
- Calculate SVD
- Find normal as 3rd column of matrix $U$
It allows to compute a plane that fits that 4 points and a normal for that plane.
In my case, I need to compute rotation matrix (from plane coordinate system to world coordinate system).
The plane/local (more exactly, that rigid square) coordinate system is defined as:
- X axis goes in the same direction as vector from $X_1$ to $X_2$
- Y axis goes in the same direction as vector from $X_3$ to $X_2$
- Z axis goes "up", as in right-handed coordinate system
- origin is located at the centroid
Now, having $X_1 ... X_4$ and $U$, how can I compute $R$ that will transform any point from plane (local) coordinate system to world coordinate system?
