transformations

Homogeneous Transformation Matrices and Quaternions.

A library for calculating 4x4 matrices for translating, rotating, reflecting, scaling, shearing, projecting, orthogonalizing, and superimposing arrays of 3D homogeneous coordinates as well as for converting between rotation matrices, Euler angles, and quaternions. Also includes an Arcball control object and functions to decompose transformation matrices.

Authors:Christoph Gohlke, Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics, University of California, Irvine Version:20090418

Requirements

• Python 2.6
• Numpy 1.3
• transformations.c 20090418 (optional implementation of some functions in C)

Notes

Matrices (M) can be inverted using numpy.linalg.inv(M), concatenated using numpy.dot(M0, M1), or used to transform homogeneous coordinates (v) using numpy.dot(M, v) for shape (4, *) “point of arrays”, respectively numpy.dot(v, M.T) for shape (*, 4) “array of points”.

Calculations are carried out with numpy.float64 precision.

This Python implementation is not optimized for speed.

Vector, point, quaternion, and matrix function arguments are expected to be “array like”, i.e. tuple, list, or numpy arrays.

Return types are numpy arrays unless specified otherwise.

Angles are in radians unless specified otherwise.

Quaternions ix+jy+kz+w are represented as [x, y, z, w].

Use the transpose of transformation matrices for OpenGL glMultMatrixd().

A triple of Euler angles can be applied/interpreted in 24 ways, which can be specified using a 4 character string or encoded 4-tuple:

Axes 4-string: e.g. ‘sxyz’ or ‘ryxy’

• first character : rotations are applied to ‘s’tatic or ‘r’otating frame
• remaining characters : successive rotation axis ‘x’, ‘y’, or ‘z’

Axes 4-tuple: e.g. (0, 0, 0, 0) or (1, 1, 1, 1)

• inner axis: code of axis (‘x’:0, ‘y’:1, ‘z’:2) of rightmost matrix.
• parity : even (0) if inner axis ‘x’ is followed by ‘y’, ‘y’ is followed by ‘z’, or ‘z’ is followed by ‘x’. Otherwise odd (1).
• repetition : first and last axis are same (1) or different (0).
• frame : rotations are applied to static (0) or rotating (1) frame.

Return matrix to shear by angle along direction vector on shear plane.

The shear plane is defined by a point and normal vector. The direction vector must be orthogonal to the plane’s normal vector.

A point P is transformed by the shear matrix into P” such that the vector P-P” is parallel to the direction vector and its extent is given by the angle of P-P’-P”, where P’ is the orthogonal projection of P onto the shear plane.

>>> angle = (random.random() - 0.5) * 4*math.pi
>>> direct = numpy.random.random(3) - 0.5
>>> point = numpy.random.random(3) - 0.5
>>> normal = numpy.cross(direct, numpy.random.random(3))
>>> S = shear_matrix(angle, direct, point, normal)
>>> numpy.allclose(1.0, numpy.linalg.det(S))
True

tf.transformations.superimposition_matrix(v0, v1, scaling=False, usesvd=True)

Return matrix to transform given vector set into second vector set.

v0 and v1 are shape (3, *) or (4, *) arrays of at least 3 vectors.

If usesvd is True, the weighted sum of squared deviations (RMSD) is minimized according to the algorithm by W. Kabsch [8]. Otherwise the quaternion based algorithm by B. Horn [9] is used (slower when using this Python implementation).

The returned matrix performs rotation, translation and uniform scaling (if specified).

>>> numpy.allclose(M, numpy.identity(4))
True
