rigid2d

(Not recommended) 2-D rigid geometric transformation using postmultiply convention

Since R2020b

rigid2d is not recommended. Use the rigidtform2d object instead. For more information, see Compatibility Considerations.

Description

A rigid2d object stores information about a 2-D rigid geometric transformation and enables forward and inverse transformations.

Creation

Description

tform = rigid2d creates a default rigid2d object that corresponds to an identity transformation.

tform = rigid2d(t) sets the T property as the specified 2-D rigid transformation matrix t.

example

tform = rigid2d(rot,trans) sets the Rotation and Translation properties as the specified rotation matrix rot and translation vector trans, respectively.

Properties

expand all

Forward rigid transformation, specified as a 3-by-3 numeric matrix. The matrix T satisfies the postmultiply convention given by:

[x y 1] = [u v 1] * Rotation + Translation

Data Types: single | double

Rotation component of the transformation, specified as a 2-by-2 numeric matrix.

Data Types: single | double

Translation component of the transformation, specified as a 2-element numeric row vector.

Data Types: single | double

This property is read-only.

Dimensionality of the geometric transformation, specified as the number 2.

Object Functions

Examples

collapse all

Specify an angle of rotation in degrees and create a 2-by-2 rotation matrix.

theta = 30;
rot = [ cosd(theta) sind(theta); ...
       -sind(theta) cosd(theta)];

Specify the amount of horizontal and vertical translation, respectively.

trans = [2 3];

Create a rigid2d object that performs the rotation and translation.

tform = rigid2d(rot,trans)
tform = 
  rigid2d with properties:

       Rotation: [2x2 double]
    Translation: [2 3]
