How to use an OpenCV rotation and translation vector with OpenGL ES in Android?

Question

I\'m am working on a basic augmented reality application on Android. What I did so far is detect a square with opencv and then using cvFindExtrinsicCameraParams2() I calcula

Pandoro's method really works! In case someone wondering "how to convert the rotation vector into a rotation matrix" here's how I did it. By the way, I've used these in OpenGL 2, not ES.

// use the rotation vector generated from OpenCV's cvFindExtrinsicCameraParams2() 
float rv[] = {rotation->data.fl[0], rotation->data.fl[1], rotation->data.fl[2] }; 

// use the translation vector generated from OpenCV's cvFindExtrinsicCameraParams2() 
float tv[] = {translation->data.fl[0], translation->data.fl[1], translation->data.fl[2]} ; 

float rm[9];
// rotation matrix
CvMat* rotMat = cvCreateMat (3, 3, CV_32FC1); 

// rotation vectors can be converted to a 3-by-3 rotation matrix
// by calling cvRodrigues2() - Source: O'Reilly Learning OpenCV
cvRodrigues2(rotation, rotMat, NULL);

for(int i=0; i<9; i++){
    rm[i] = rotMat->data.fl[i];
}

rv[1]=-1.0f * rv[1]; rv[2]=-1.0f * rv[2];
//Convert the rotation vector into a matrix here.

//Complete matrix ready to use for OpenGL
float RTMat[] = {rm[0], rm[3], rm[6], 0.0f,
             rm[1], rm[4], rm[7], 0.0f,
             rm[2], rm[5], rm[8], 0.0f,
             tv[0], -tv[1], -tv[2], 1.0f};

Good luck!
