-2

Hi all... I'm trying to solve the following equation for R, a 4x4 affine rotation matrix:

T1*R*T2*(0,0,0,1)' = P (0,0,0,1)' is a column vector representing the origin of the transformed system

T1,T2 are known translation matrices (4x4 affine) P is also known...

Is it possible to isolate R from this equation without multiplying everything out?

Thanks
