Do some simple feature extraction and then do a least-squares fit.
Look up the paper in IEEE transactions entitled "Least-Squares Fitting
of Two 3-D Point Sets" by Arun, Huang and Blostein. I wrote some code
to do basically what you are describing. Their paper is very clear
and took me about an hour or two to code up. You won't get exact
rotation angles. They'll be within a half a degree or so.

There are also some enhancements to their algorithm to give you
scaling, shearing, etc, etc if you need that.
