For most transformation, we assume that we can compute only the translation coefficients (\(a_i\)). The only exception are Euclidean transformation around a single axis of rotation that allow to compute a single scaling and a single rotation coefficient. In all other cases, values of computed coefficients would depend on the assumed order of individual transformation, making them no more than a potentially misleading guesses.

## Bidimensional regression

### Translation

Number of parameters: 2

- translation: \(a_1\), \(a_2\)

\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & a_1 \\ 0 & 1 & a_2 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

### Euclidean

Number of parameters: 4

- translation: \(a_1\), \(a_2\)
- scaling: \(\phi\)
- rotation: \(\theta\)

\[ \begin{bmatrix} b_1 & b_2 & a_1 \\ -b_2 & b_1 & a_2 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

The Euclidean transformation is a special case, where we can compute rotation (\(\theta\)) and the single scaling (\(\phi\)) coefficients, as follows: \[ \phi = \sqrt{b_1^2 + b_2^2}\\ \theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{b_2}{b_1}) \]

### Affine

Number of parameters: 6

- translation: \(a_1\), \(a_2\)
- scaling · rotation · sheer: \(b_1\), \(b_2\), \(b_3\), \(b_4\)

\[ \begin{bmatrix} b_1 & b_2 & a_1 \\ b_3 & b_4 & a_2 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

### Projective

Number of parameters: 8

- translation: \(a_1\), \(a_2\)
- scaling · rotation · sheer · projection: \(b_1\)…\(b_6\)

\[ \begin{bmatrix} b_1 & b_2 & a_1 \\ b_3 & b_4 & a_2 \\ b_5 & b_6 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

## Tridimensional regression

### Translation

Number of parameters: 3

- translation: \(a_1\), \(a_2\), \(a_3\)

\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & a_1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & a_2 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & a_3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

### Euclidean

Number of parameters: 5

- translation: \(a_1\), \(a_2\), \(a_3\)
- scaling: \(\phi\)
- rotation: \(\theta\)

For all Euclidean rotations, we opted to use coefficient \(b_3\) to code scaling (\(\phi\)), whereas \(b_2 = sin(\theta)\) and \(b_1=\phi~ cos(\theta)\). The coefficients are computed as follows: \[ \phi = \sqrt{b_1^2 + b_2^2}\\ \theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{b_2}{b_1}) \]

#### Euclidean, rotation about x axis

Note that during fitting \(\phi\) is computed from \(b_1\) and \(b_2\) on the fly. \[ \begin{bmatrix} \phi & 0 & 0 & a_1 \\ 0 & b_1 &-b_2 & a_2 \\ 0 & b_2 & b_1 & a_3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

#### Euclidean, rotation about y axis

\[ \begin{bmatrix} b_1 & 0 & b_2 & a_1 \\ 0 & \phi & 0 & a_2 \\ -b_2 & 0 & b_1 & a_3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

#### Euclidean, rotation about z axis

\[ \begin{bmatrix} b_1 &-b_2 & 0 & a_1 \\ b_2 & b_1 & 0 & a_2 \\ 0 & 0 & \phi & a_3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

### Affine

Number of parameters: 12

- translation: \(a_1\), \(a_2\), \(a_3\)
- scaling · rotation · sheer: \(b_1\)…\(b_9\)

\[ \begin{bmatrix} b_1 & b_2 & b_3 & a_1 \\ b_4 & b_5 & b_6 & a_2 \\ b_7 & b_8 & b_9 & a_3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

### Projective

Number of parameters: 15

- translation: \(a_1\), \(a_2\), \(a_3\)
- scaling · rotation · sheer · projection: \(b_1\)…\(b_12\)

\[ \begin{bmatrix} b_1 & b_2 & b_3 & a_1 \\ b_4 & b_5 & b_6 & a_2 \\ b_7 & b_8 & b_9 & a_3 \\ b_{10} & b_{11} & b_{12} & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]
