Euler angles are a representation of an angular frame, as are quaternions and rotation matrices.

Euler angles are a set of three angles, corresponding to pitch, roll, and yaw. Euler angles may be constructed according to many conventions. The axes of and ordering of ordering of pitch, roll, and yaw vary by convention.

Euler angles are not commutative. For any Euler angles A, B, a rotation A followed by B is not

(B + A) is necessarily equal a rotation B followed by A (B + A). Because of this algebraic property, Euler angles are often not very useful for signal processing applications.

Euler angles suffer from a pair of singularity points at which only two of the three angles are significant. The derivative of the Euler angles is discontinuous at this point. This condition is often called gimbal lock.

A quaternion is a number with a real and three imaginary components, q = a + i b + j c + k d

A quaternion represents a rotational frame in a form related to the angle theta and axis v of rotation, where v is a three-dimensional unit (length 1) vector, and q = sin (theta / 2) + i * vx * cos(theta/2) + i * vy * cos(theta/2) + k * vz * cos(theta/2)

You can easily convert a quaternion to Euler angles or a rotation matrix.

The DMP calculates the MotionFusion solution as a quaternion because it is the most efficient representation for mathematical applications.

An angular frame is a representation of an object’s orientation in 3D space. It is commonly described using Euler angles or a quaternion. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternions_and_spatial_rotation

An angular frame does not describe the 3D location of an object, only its rotation relative to a reference. The reference rotation for a 6-axis angular frame is flat and level—that is, the vertical axis of the object is aligned with up/down. The reference rotation for a 9-axis angular frame is flat, level, and north: the vertical axis of the object is aligned up/down, and the forward axis of the object is aligned north/south.
