This repository gives a summary of contemporary approaches to deep rotation estimation, as well as their implementations in Python. Specifically, 3D rotation matrices have stood out to be the estimation target given the discontinuity [1] presented in simpler presentations including Euler angles, quaternion, and axis-angle.
There are 2 mainstream methods to recover a rotation matrix:
