  2. Vector projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection

    The vector projection (also known as the vector component or vector resolution) of a vector a on (or onto) a nonzero vector b is the orthogonal projection of a onto a straight line parallel to b. The projection of a onto b is often written as proj b ⁡ a {\displaystyle \operatorname {proj} _{\mathbf {b} }\mathbf {a} } or a ∥ b .

  3. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    A 3D projection (or graphical ... the 3D vector ,, is projected ... This transformed point can then be projected onto the 2D plane using the formula ...

  4. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

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

    The Rodrigues vector (sometimes called the Gibbs vector, with coordinates called Rodrigues parameters) [3] [4] can be expressed in terms of the axis and angle of the rotation as follows: = ^ ⁡ This representation is a higher-dimensional analog of the gnomonic projection , mapping unit quaternions from a 3-sphere onto the 3-dimensional pure ...

  5. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    To obtain exactly the same rotation (i.e. the same final coordinates of point P), the equivalent row vector must be post-multiplied by the transpose of R (i.e. wR T). Right- or left-handed coordinates The matrix and the vector can be represented with respect to a right-handed or left-handed coordinate system. Throughout the article, we assumed ...

  6. Rodrigues' rotation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigues'_rotation_formula

    In the theory of three-dimensional rotation, Rodrigues' rotation formula, named after Olinde Rodrigues, is an efficient algorithm for rotating a vector in space, given an axis and angle of rotation. By extension, this can be used to transform all three basis vectors to compute a rotation matrix in SO(3) , the group of all rotation matrices ...

  7. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The azimuth (or azimuthal angle) is the signed angle measured from the azimuth reference direction to the orthogonal projection of the radial line segment OP on the reference plane. The sign of the azimuth is determined by designating the rotation that is the positive sense of turning about the zenith. This choice is arbitrary, and is part of ...

  8. Projection (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_(linear_algebra)

    A square matrix is called a projection matrix if it is equal to its square, i.e. if =. [2]: p. 38 A square matrix is called an orthogonal projection matrix if = = for a real matrix, and respectively = = for a complex matrix, where denotes the transpose of and denotes the adjoint or Hermitian transpose of .

  9. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

    Projections of Z vector Projections of Y vector. A common problem is to find the Euler angles of a given frame. The fastest way to get them is to write the three given vectors as columns of a matrix and compare it with the expression of the theoretical matrix (see later table of matrices). Hence the three Euler Angles can be calculated.
