What Does DCM Stand For?
DCM stands for Direction Cosine Matrix
The Direction Cosine Matrix (DCM) is a mathematical construct used to represent the orientation of one coordinate system relative to another in three-dimensional space. It consists of a 3x3 matrix containing the cosines of the angles between the axes of the two coordinate systems. DCMs are commonly employed in fields such as aerospace, robotics, and computer graphics for tasks involving transformations and rotations, enabling accurate computations of spatial relationships and movements.
