  2. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    Generate a uniform angle and construct a 2 × 2 rotation matrix. To step from n to n + 1, generate a vector v uniformly distributed on the n-sphere S n, embed the n × n matrix in the next larger size with last column (0, ..., 0, 1), and rotate the larger matrix so the last column becomes v. As usual, we have special alternatives for the 3 × 3 ...

  3. Givens rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Givens_rotation

    As with row-addition, algorithms often choose this angle so that one specific element becomes zero, and whatever happens in remaining columns is considered acceptable side-effects. A Givens rotation acting on a matrix from the right is instead a column operation, moving data between two columns but always within the same row.

  4. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    An algorithm due to Alan W. Paeth uses a sequence of three shear mappings (horizontal, vertical, then horizontal again) to rotate a digital image by an arbitrary angle. The algorithm is very simple to implement, and very efficient, since each step processes only one column or one row of pixels at a time. [7]

  5. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_of_axes_in_two...

    In mathematics, a rotation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x′y′-Cartesian coordinate system in which the origin is kept fixed and the x′ and y′ axes are obtained by rotating the x and y axes counterclockwise through an angle .

  6. Transformation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix

    One of the main motivations for using matrices to represent linear transformations is that transformations can then be easily composed and inverted. Composition is accomplished by matrix multiplication. Row and column vectors are operated upon by matrices, rows on the left and columns on the right. Since text reads from left to right, column ...

  7. Elliptical distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_distribution

    In the 2-dimensional case, if the density exists, each iso-density locus (the set of x 1,x 2 pairs all giving a particular value of ()) is an ellipse or a union of ellipses (hence the name elliptical distribution).

  8. Affine transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_transformation

    Let X be an affine space over a field k, and V be its associated vector space. An affine transformation is a bijection f from X onto itself that is an affine map; this means that a linear map g from V to V is well defined by the equation () = (); here, as usual, the subtraction of two points denotes the free vector from the second point to the first one, and "well-defined" means that ...

  9. Elliptic coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_coordinate_system

    In geometry, the elliptic coordinate system is a two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system in which the coordinate lines are confocal ellipses and hyperbolae. The two foci F 1 {\displaystyle F_{1}} and F 2 {\displaystyle F_{2}} are generally taken to be fixed at − a {\displaystyle -a} and + a {\displaystyle +a} , respectively, on the x ...
