How to detect rotation in a trajectory?

3 views (last 30 days)
I have to write an algorithm to detect rotation in the trajectory. Basically, I have to detect the red zone in the trajectory. Currently I have the time and coordinate data.
How do I approach it?

You are working in a 2D or 3D space?

I would use the gradient function to calculate the numerical derivative.
For example:
dydx = gradient(y) ./ gradient(x);
Plot that as a function of ‘x’ as well, and it may provide some clues on how to define that region of the curve.

One way of detecting the region of values is using logical indexing, e.g.:
t = ...
x = ...
y = ...
% Way 1
Ind = t>=0 & t<=5; % Select the region according to the time data
Xs = x(Ind);
Ys = y(Ind);
% Way 2
Ind = x>=0 & x<=5; % Select the region according to x data
Xs = x(Ind);
Ys = y(Ind);
