I have a set of given vectors, I want to find a rotation matrix to convert them to vectors belong to surface of a cone with vertex is origin(vectors with the same slant angle but different tilt angles). Is there any body know what is the solution?
Thanks
Could you explain this a little more?Quote:

Here s is slant angle, ti is the tilt angle. After a rotation matrix conversion R (R*Li), it becomes a set of vectors (Vi, i=1:N). it mean that R*Li=Vi with i=1:N. The question is that: I am given set of Vi, all I have to find are R matrix and Li with i=1:N.Quote:

Logically, there is more number of equations than number of varialbes, then there is solution to find Li and R from Vi with i=1:N. But I can not do that.
