  2. Rigid transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_transformation

    A rigid transformation is formally defined as a transformation that, when acting on any vector v, produces a transformed vector T(v) of the form. T(v) = R v + t. where RT = R−1 (i.e., R is an orthogonal transformation), and t is a vector giving the translation of the origin. A proper rigid transformation has, in addition,

  3. Affine transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_transformation

    A generalization of an affine transformation is an affine map[1] (or affine homomorphism or affine mapping) between two (potentially different) affine spaces over the same field k. Let (X, V, k) and (Z, W, k) be two affine spaces with X and Z the point sets and V and W the respective associated vector spaces over the field k.

  4. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    The dynamics of a rigid body system is described by the laws of kinematics and by the application of Newton's second law (kinetics) or their derivative form, Lagrangian mechanics. The solution of these equations of motion provides a description of the position, the motion and the acceleration of the individual components of the system, and ...

  5. Deformation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(physics)

    In physics and continuum mechanics, deformation is the change in the shape or size of an object. It has dimension of length with SI unit of metre (m). It is quantified as the residual displacement of particles in a non-rigid body, from an initial configuration to a final configuration, excluding the body's average translation and rotation (its rigid transformation). [1]

  6. Image registration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_registration

    Image registration is the process of transforming different sets of data into one coordinate system. Data may be multiple photographs, data from different sensors, times, depths, or viewpoints. [ 1 ] It is used in computer vision, medical imaging, [ 2 ] military automatic target recognition, and compiling and analyzing images and data from ...

  7. Euclidean group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_group

    Euclidean group. In mathematics, a Euclidean group is the group of (Euclidean) isometries of a Euclidean space ; that is, the transformations of that space that preserve the Euclidean distance between any two points (also called Euclidean transformations). The group depends only on the dimension n of the space, and is commonly denoted E (n) or ...

  8. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_formalisms_in...

    Rotation formalisms in three dimensions. In geometry, various formalisms exist to express a rotation in three dimensions as a mathematical transformation. In physics, this concept is applied to classical mechanics where rotational (or angular) kinematics is the science of quantitative description of a purely rotational motion.

  9. Rigid body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body

    t. e. In physics, a rigid body, also known as a rigid object, [2] is a solid body in which deformation is zero or negligible. The distance between any two given points on a rigid body remains constant in time regardless of external forces or moments exerted on it.
