Axesaltitude
Axesaltitude is a term used in discussions of coordinate systems and 3D modeling to describe the component of a point’s position along a designated axis, typically the vertical or “up” axis of a local coordinate frame. It is not a universally standardized term, but in contexts where objects or sensors are oriented with their own axes, axesaltitude helps express height relative to that local frame rather than the global reference.
In practice, axesaltitude is the projection of a position vector onto a chosen axis. If O is
Applications for axesaltitude appear in robotics, graphics, and geospatial workflows where objects are rotated or translated
Because the term is not universally standardized, definitions and methods for computing axesaltitude can vary by
