I have two frames. on first frame have three dots color (red green and blue) makes a triangle. on second frame also have these dots color but the position of these dots on this frame not same with first frame (and these dots still make a triangle)... I mean, when we see both frames, we are feel that the triangle be changed ( like the triangle did rotate about X, Y and Z axis). My question are: Can we compute (or get) three angles (degree/radian) that the triangle rotated about X axis ,and y axis, and z axis from two frames above? If you know how to solve,please share me... Thank for your help Paul.

No.
Frame 1
              *                         *              *

Frame 2
              *                    *              *

Did the blue dot move towards or away from you?
Is it a positive or a negative Y-axis rotation?

good idea..
right now, i assume that the blue dot is away from me...
and positive Y axis is counter clock wise.

so what next steps you can show me are...? Please share with me.

Thanks!

It's impossible. You can't. You don't have enough information. You are missing an entire dimension. In order to to figure out the location and orientation of the triangle, you need to know the size and shape of the triangle, and the locations (in 3 dimensions) of two of its three vertices -- and even that is not always enough information.
