Syntax

[x,y] = transformPointsForward(tform,u,v)
[x,y,z] = transformPointsForward(tform,u,v,w)
X = transformPointsForward(tform,U)

Description

example

[x,y] = transformPointsForward(tform,u,v) applies the forward transformation of 2-D geometric transformation tform to the points specified by coordinates u and v.

[x,y,z] = transformPointsForward(tform,u,v,w) applies the forward transformation of 3-D geometric transformation tform to the points specified by coordinates u, v, and w.

X = transformPointsForward(tform,U) applies the forward transformation of tform to the input coordinate matrix U and returns the coordinate matrix X. transformPointsForward maps the kth point U(k,:) to the point X(k,:).

Geometric transformation, specified as a geometric transformation object.

For 2-D geometric transformations, tform can be a rigid2d, affine2d, projective2d, or geometricTransform2d geometric transformation object.

For 3-D geometric transformations, tform can be an affine3d, rigid3d, or geometricTransform3d geometric transformation object.

x-coordinates of points to be transformed, specified as an m-by-n or m-by-n-by-p numeric array. The number of dimensions of u matches the dimensionality of tform.

Data Types: single | double

y-coordinates of points to be transformed, specified as an m-by-n or m-by-n-by-p numeric array. The size of v must match the size of u.

Data Types: single | double

z-coordinates of points to be transformed, specified as an m-by-n-by-p numeric array. w is used only when tform is a 3-D geometric transformation. The size of w must match the size of u.

Data Types: single | double

Coordinates of points to be transformed, specified as an l-by-2 or l-by-3 numeric array. The number of columns of U matches the dimensionality of tform.

The first column lists the x-coordinate of each point to transform, and the second column lists the y-coordinate. If tform represents a 3-D geometric transformation, U has size l-by-3 and the third column lists the z-coordinate of the points to transform.
