Rotate Transformation Matrix Around Point


I have a 4x4 transoformation matrix T0 as a starting pose.

Now I want to rotate T0 with an 3x3 rotation matrix R around a center point to get a new pose T1.

import numpy as np

T0 = np.eye(4)
R = np.array([[0.98480775, 0., 0.17364818],
              [0., 1., 0.],
              [-0.17364818, 0., 0.98480775]])
center = np.array([-2.00628613e-02, -1.26855529e+00, -3.45331795e+01])

# T1 = ?

How to calculate T1?


Solution

  • The solution is described here. And the working code is below:

    import numpy as np
    
    T0 = np.eye(4)
    R = np.array([[0.98480775, 0., 0.17364818],
                  [0., 1., 0.],
                  [-0.17364818, 0., 0.98480775]])
    center = np.array([-2.00628613e-02, -1.26855529e+00, -3.45331795e+01])
    
    T = np.eye(4)
    T[:3, :3] = R
    T[:3, 3] = center - np.matmul(R, center)
    
    T1 = np.matmul(T, T0)
