rotate a pointcloud in z axis


I am trying to rotate a pcd but I get the following error, how do I fix the same -

import open3d as o3d 
import numpy as np 

xyz = o3d.io.read_point_cloud("data.pcd")
xyz = xyz.rotate(xyz.get_rotation_matrix_from_xyz((0.7 * np.pi, 0, 0.6 * np.pi)),center=True)

Error -

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: get_rotation_matrix_from_xyz(): incompatible function arguments. The following argument types are supported:
    1. (rotation: numpy.ndarray[float64[3, 1]]) -> numpy.ndarray[float64[3, 3]]

Invoked with: array([[-0.30901699, -0.95105652,  0.        ],

       [ 0.76942088, -0.25      , -0.58778525]]); kwargs: center=True

how do i fix the same


Solution

  • The center argument is not boolean, but should describe the rotation center (see docs):

    center (numpy.ndarray[float64[3, 1]]) – Rotation center used for transformation

    This would rotate around the origin (0,0,0):

    import open3d as o3d 
    import numpy as np 
    
    xyz = o3d.io.read_point_cloud("data.pcd")
    R = xyz.get_rotation_matrix_from_xyz((0.7 * np.pi, 0, 0.6 * np.pi))
    xyz = xyz.rotate(R, center=(0,0,0))
