  2. Oblique projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_projection

    The foreshortening factor (1/2 in this example) is inversely proportional to the tangent of the angle (63.43° in this example) between the projection plane (colored brown) and the projection lines (dotted). Front view of the same. Oblique projection is a type of parallel projection: it projects an image by intersecting parallel rays (projectors)

  3. Keystone effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_effect

    The keystone effect is the apparent distortion of an image caused by projecting it onto an angled surface. It is the distortion of the image dimensions, such as making a square look like a trapezoid, the shape of an architectural keystone, hence the name of the feature.

  4. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.

  5. Skew coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_coordinates

    A system of skew coordinates is a curvilinear coordinate system where the coordinate surfaces are not orthogonal, [1] in contrast to orthogonal coordinates.. Skew coordinates tend to be more complicated to work with compared to orthogonal coordinates since the metric tensor will have nonzero off-diagonal components, preventing many simplifications in formulas for tensor algebra and tensor ...

  6. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    The trace of a rotation matrix is equal to the sum of its eigenvalues. For n = 2, a rotation by angle θ has trace 2 cos θ. For n = 3, a rotation around any axis by angle θ has trace 1 + 2 cos θ. For n = 4, and the trace is 2(cos θ + cos φ), which becomes 4 cos θ for an isoclinic rotation.

  7. Skewness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness

    For instance, a mixed distribution consisting of very thin Gaussians centred at −99, 0.5, and 2 with weights 0.01, 0.66, and 0.33 has a skewness of about −9.77, but in a sample of 3 has an expected value of about 0.32, since usually all three samples are in the positive-valued part of the distribution, which is skewed the other way.

  8. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    Any point above the x-axis is displaced to the right (increasing x) if m > 0, and to the left if m < 0. Points below the x -axis move in the opposite direction, while points on the axis stay fixed. Straight lines parallel to the x -axis remain where they are, while all other lines are turned (by various angles) about the point where they cross ...

  9. Infinitesimal rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal_rotation_matrix

    An infinitesimal rotation matrix or differential rotation matrix is a matrix representing an infinitely small rotation.. While a rotation matrix is an orthogonal matrix = representing an element of () (the special orthogonal group), the differential of a rotation is a skew-symmetric matrix = in the tangent space (the special orthogonal Lie algebra), which is not itself a rotation matrix.
