    Description

    A simtform3d object stores information about a 3-D similarity geometric transformation and enables forward and inverse transformations.

    Creation

    Syntax

    tform = simtform3d
    tform = simtform3d(Scale,R,Translation)
    tform = simtform3d(Scale,eulerAngles,Translation)
    tform = simtform3d(A)
    tform = simtform3d(tformIn)

    Description

    tform = simtform3d creates a simtform3d object that performs an identity transformation.

    tform = simtform3d(Scale,R,Translation) creates a simtform3d object that performs a similarity transformation based on the specified values of the Scale, R, and Translation properties. These properties specify the scale factor, rotation angle, and the amount of translation in the x-, y-, and z-directions, respectively.

    tform = simtform3d(Scale,eulerAngles,Translation) creates a simtform3d object that performs a similarity transformation based on Euler angles and the specified value of the Scale and Translation properties.

    example

    tform = simtform3d(A) creates a simtform3d object and sets the property A to the specified 3-D similarity transformation matrix.

    tform = simtform3d(tformIn) creates a simtform3d object from another geometric transformation object, tformIn, that represents a valid 3-D similarity geometric transformation.

    Euler angles in x,y,z order in degrees, specified as a 3-element numeric vector of the form [rx ry rz]. The Euler angles set the R property as a product of three rotation matrices (Rx, Ry, and Rz) according to:

     Rx = [1 0 0; 0 cosd(rx) -sind(rx); 0 sind(rx) cosd(rx)];
 Ry = [cosd(ry) 0 sind(ry); 0 1 0; -sind(ry) 0 cosd(ry)];
 Rz = [cosd(rz) -sind(rz) 0; sind(rz) cosd(rz) 0; 0 0 1];
  R = Rz*Ry*Rx;

    Similarity 3-D geometric transformation, specified as an affinetform3d object, rigidtform3d object, simtform3d object, or transltform3d object.

    Properties

    expand all

    Forward 3-D similarity transformation, specified as a 4-by-4 numeric matrix. The default of A is the identity matrix.

    The matrix A transforms the point (u, v, w) in the input coordinate space to the point (x, y, z) in the output coordinate space using the convention:

    [xyz1]=Α×[uvw1]

    For a similarity transformation, A has the form:

    Α=[s∗R(1,1)s∗R(1,2)s∗R(1,3)txs∗R(2,1)s∗R(2,2)s∗R(2,3)tys∗R(3,1)s∗R(3,2)s∗R(3,3)tz0001]

    where s is the scale factor and corresponds to the Scale property. R(i,j) are the elements of the rotation matrix specified by the corresponding (i,j) indices of the R property. tx, ty, and tz are the amount of translation in the x-, y-, and z-directions, respectively, and correspond to the elements of the Translation property.

    Data Types: double | single

    Scale factor, specified as a positive number. The scale factor corresponds to the value s in the similarity transformation matrix defined by property A.

    Data Types: double | single

    Rotation matrix, specified as a 3-by-3 numeric matrix. The rotation matrix performs rotation about the z-axis first, then the y-axis, and then the x-axis.

    Amount of translation, specified as a 3-element numeric vector of the form [tx ty tz].

    Data Types: double | single

    This property is read-only.

    Dimensionality of the geometric transformation for both input and output points, specified as 3.

    Specify the scale factor and the amount of translation. The transformation in this example does not perform rotation, so set the Euler angles to [0 0 0].

    scaleFactor = 1.5;
eulerAngles = [0 0 0];
translation = [10 20.5 15];

    Create a simtform3d object that performs the scaling and translation.

    tform = simtform3d(scaleFactor,eulerAngles,translation)
    tform = 
  simtform3d with properties:

    Dimensionality: 3
             Scale: 1.5000
       Translation: [10 20.5000 15]
                 R: [3x3 double]

                 A: [1.5000         0         0   10.0000
                          0    1.5000         0   20.5000
                          0         0    1.5000   15.0000
                          0         0         0    1.0000]

    Examine the value of the A property.

    tform.A
    ans = 4×4

    1.5000         0         0   10.0000
         0    1.5000         0   20.5000
         0         0    1.5000   15.0000
         0         0         0    1.0000
