  2. Vector projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection

    Whenever they don't coincide, the inner product is used instead of the dot product in the formal definitions of projection and rejection. For a three-dimensional inner product space, the notions of projection of a vector onto another and rejection of a vector from another can be generalized to the notions of projection of a vector onto a plane ...

  3. 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 .

  4. Distance from a point to a plane - Wikipedia

    In either the coordinate or vector formulations, one may verify that the given point lies on the given plane by plugging the point into the equation of the plane. To see that it is the closest point to the origin on the plane, observe that p {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} } is a scalar multiple of the vector v {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} } defining ...

  5. Stereographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereographic_projection

    The plane z = 0 runs through the center of the sphere; the "equator" is the intersection of the sphere with this plane. For any point P on M, there is a unique line through N and P, and this line intersects the plane z = 0 in exactly one point P ′, known as the stereographic projection of P onto the plane.

  6. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    If the normal of the viewing plane (the camera direction) is parallel to one of the primary axes (which is the x, y, or z axis), the mathematical transformation is as follows; To project the 3D point , , onto the 2D point , using an orthographic projection parallel to the y axis (where positive y represents forward direction - profile view ...

  7. Projection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The commutativity of this diagram is the universality of the projection π, for any map f and set X.. Generally, a mapping where the domain and codomain are the same set (or mathematical structure) is a projection if the mapping is idempotent, which means that a projection is equal to its composition with itself.

  8. Gram–Schmidt process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram–Schmidt_process

    The vector projection of a vector on a nonzero vector is defined as [note 1] ⁡ = , , , where , denotes the inner product of the vectors and . This means that proj u ⁡ ( v ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {proj} _{\mathbf {u} }(\mathbf {v} )} is the orthogonal projection of v {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} } onto the line spanned by u ...

  9. UV mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping

    For any point on the sphere, calculate ^, that being the unit vector from to the sphere's origin. Assuming that the sphere's poles are aligned with the Y axis, UV coordinates in the range [ 0 , 1 ] {\displaystyle [0,1]} can then be calculated as follows:
