%DIHEDRALANGLE Compute dihedral angle between 2 planes
%
%   THETA = dihedralAngle(PLANE1, PLANE2)
%   PLANE1 and PLANE2 are plane representations given in the following
%   format:
%   [x0 y0 z0 dx1 dy1 dz1 dx2 dy2 dz2]
%   THETA is the angle between the two vectors given by plane normals,
%   given between 0 and PI.

% HISTORY
% 2009-06-19 change convention for dihedral angle
% 2011-03-20 improve computation precision

% compute plane normals
v1 = planeNormal(plane1);
v2 = planeNormal(plane2);

% number of vectors
n1 = size(v1, 1);
n2 = size(v2, 1);

% ensures vectors have same dimension
if n1 ~= n2
    if n1 == 1
        v1 = repmat(v1, [n2 1]);
    elseif n2 == 1
        v2 = repmat(v2, [n1 1]);
    else
        error('Arguments V1 and V2 must have the same size');
    end
end

% compute dihedral angle(s)
theta = atan2(vectorNorm3d(cross(v1, v2, 2)), dot(v1, v2, 2));

% % equivalent to following formula, but more precise for small angles:
% n1 = normalizeVector3d(planeNormal(plane1));
% n2 = normalizeVector3d(planeNormal(plane2));
% theta = acos(dot(n1, n2, 2));
