3D Transformation

The document discusses inverse transformations and their properties. 1) The inverse of a transformation L, denoted L-1, undoes the transformation L by mapping images back to the original points. 2) The transformation matrix of an inverse transformation L-1 is the inverse of the transformation matrix of L. 3) Common transformations like translation, rotation, and scaling have simple inverses obtained by negating the transformation parameters.

Inverse Transformations

The identity transformation I is the transformation that leaves all points of the
plane unchanged. More precisely, I is the transformation for which I ◦ L = L ◦ I =
L, for any planar transformation L. The transformation matrix of the identity
transformation in homogeneous coordinates is the 3 × 3 identity matrix I3.
The inverse of a transformation L, denoted L −1 , maps images of L back to the
original points. More precisely, the inverse L −1 satisfies that L −1 ◦ L = L ◦ L −1 =
I. Lemma 1 Let T be the matrix of the homogeneous transformation L. If the
inverse transformation L −1 exists, then T −1 exists and is the transformation
matrix of L −1 .
Conversely, if T −1 exists, then the transformation represented by T −1 is the
inverse transformation of L. Proof Suppose L has an inverse L −1 with
transformation matrix R. The concatenations L◦L −1 and L −1 ◦ L must be
identity transformations. Accordingly, the transformation matrices T R and RT
are equal to I3. Thus R is the inverse of matrix T, that is, R = T −1 .
Conversely, suppose the matrix T has an inverse T −1 , which defines a
transformation R. Since T −1T = T T −1 = I3, it follows that R ◦ L and L ◦ R are the
identity transformation. By definition, R is the inverse transformation. We
easily obtain the inverses of translation, rotation, and scaling: Trans(h, k) −1 =
Trans(−h, −k), Rot(θ) −1 = Rot(−θ), Scale(s1, s2) −1 = Scale(1/s1, 1/s2). A
transformation L : P 2 → P 2 with an inverse L −1 is called a non-singular
transformation. Lemma 1 implies that a transformation is non-singular if and
only if its transformation matrix is non-singular. Non-singular matrices A and B
satisfies (AB) −1 = B−1A−1 .

In homogeneous coordinates, the concatenation of transformations T1 and T2,


denoted T2 ◦ T1, can be carried out with matrix multiplications alone. For
example, a rotation Rot(θ) about the origin followed by a translation Trans(h,
k) followed by a scaling Scale(sx, sy) has the homogeneous transformation
matrix Scale(sx, sy) ◦ Trans(h, k) ◦ Rot(θ) =   sx 0 0 0 sy 0 0 0 1     1
0 h 0 1 k 0 0 1     cos θ − sin θ 0 sin θ cos θ 0 0 0 1   6 =   sx cos
θ −sx sin θ sxh sy sin θ sy cos θ syk 0 0 1   Example 3. Determine the
transformation matrix of the inverse of the concatenation of transformations
Trans(−2, 5) ◦ Rot(−π/3). The transformation matrix L −1 of the inverse is the
inverse of the corresponding matrix product: L −1 = Trans(−2, 5) Rot(−π/3)−1 =
Rot(−π/3)−1 Trans(−2, 5)−1 = Rot(π/3) Trans(2, −5) =   1 2 − √ 3 2 1 + 5
√ 3 2 √ 3 2 1 2 − 5 2 + √ 3 0 0 1  
