Noting that any identity matrix is a rotation matrix, and that matrix multiplication is associative, we may summarize all these properties by saying that the n × n rotation matrices form a group, which for n > 2 is non-abelian, called a special orthogonal group, and denoted by SO(n), SO(n,R), SO n, or SO n (R), the group of n × n rotation ...
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 ...
Let P and Q be two sets, each containing N points in .We want to find the transformation from Q to P.For simplicity, we will consider the three-dimensional case (=).The sets P and Q can each be represented by N × 3 matrices with the first row containing the coordinates of the first point, the second row containing the coordinates of the second point, and so on, as shown in this matrix:
The generating rotation matrix can be classified with respect to the values θ 1 and θ 2 as follows: If θ 1 = 0 and θ 2 ≠ 0 or vice versa, then the formulae generate simple rotations; If θ 1 and θ 2 are nonzero and θ 1 ≠ θ 2, then the formulae generate double rotations; If θ 1 and θ 2 are nonzero and θ 1 = θ 2, then the formulae ...
The interpretation of these right-handed rotation matrices is that they express coordinate transformations as opposed to point transformations . Because A expresses a rotation from the local frame 1 to the global frame 0 (i.e., A encodes the axes of frame 1 with respect to frame 0 ), the elementary rotation matrices are composed as above.
A rotation of the vector through an angle θ in counterclockwise direction is given by the rotation matrix: = ( ), which can be viewed either as an active transformation or a passive transformation (where the above matrix will be inverted), as described below.
The transformation from a reference frame 1 to a reference frame 2 can be described with three translations Δx, Δy, Δz, three rotations Rx, Ry, Rz and a scale parameter μ. The Helmert transformation (named after Friedrich Robert Helmert, 1843–1917) is a geometric transformation method within a three-dimensional space.
Effect of applying various 2D affine transformation matrices on a unit square. Note that the reflection matrices are special cases of the scaling matrix. Affine transformations on the 2D plane can be performed in three dimensions. Translation is done by shearing parallel to the xy plane, and rotation is performed around the z axis.
