8. Vectors and Matrices Scalars represent quantities that can be described fully using one value  Mass  Time  Distance Vectors describe a magnitude and direction together using multiple values

9. Vectors and Matrices Two vectors V and W are added by placing the beginning of W at the end of V Subtraction reverses the second vector V W V + W V W V V – WV – W –W–W

10. Vectors and Matrices Vectors add and subtract componentwise

11. Vectors and Matrices The magnitude of an n-dimensional vector V is given by In three dimensions, this is

12. Vectors and Matrices A vector having a magnitude of 1 is called a unit vector Any vector V can be resized to unit length by dividing it by its magnitude: This process is called normalization

13. Vectors and Matrices A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers arranged as rows and columns  A matrix having n rows and m columns is an n  m matrix  At the right, M is a 2  3 matrix  If n = m, the matrix is a square matrix

14. Vectors and Matrices The transpose of a matrix M is denoted M T and has its rows and columns exchanged:

15. Vectors and Matrices An n-dimensional vector V can be thought of as an n  1 column matrix: Or a 1  n row matrix:

16. Vectors and Matrices Product of two matrices A and B  Number of columns of A must equal number of rows of B  Entries of the product are given by  If A is a n  m matrix, and B is an m  p matrix, then AB is an n  p matrix

17. Vectors and Matrices Example matrix product

18. Vectors and Matrices Matrices are used to transform vectors from one coordinate system to another In three dimensions, the product of a matrix and a column vector looks like:

19. Identity Matrix I n For any n  n matrix M, the product with the identity matrix is M itself  I n M = M  MI n = M

20. Invertible An n  n matrix M is invertible if there exists another matrix G such that The inverse of M is denoted M -1

21. Determinant The determinant of a square matrix M is denoted det M or |M| A matrix is invertible if its determinant is not zero For a 2  2 matrix,

22. Determinant The determinant of a 3  3 matrix is

23. Inverse Explicit formulas exist for matrix inverses  These are good for small matrices, but other methods are generally used for larger matrices  In computer graphics, we are usually dealing with 2  2, 3  3, and a special form of 4  4 matrices

24. Vectors and Matrices A special type of 4  4 matrix used in computer graphics looks like  R is a 3  3 rotation matrix, and T is a translation vector

25. Vectors and Matrices The inverse of this 4  4 matrix is

26. The Dot Product The dot product is a product between two vectors that produces a scalar The dot product between two n-dimensional vectors V and W is given by In three dimensions,

27. The Dot Product The dot product can be used to project one vector onto another  V W

28. The Dot Product The dot product satisfies the formula   is the angle between the two vectors  Dot product is always 0 between perpendicular vectors  If V and W are unit vectors, the dot product is 1 for parallel vectors pointing in the same direction, -1 for opposite

29. The Dot Product The dot product of a vector with itself produces the squared magnitude Often, the notation V 2 is used as shorthand for V  V

30. The Cross Product The cross product is a product between two vectors the produces a vector  The cross product only applies in three dimensions  The cross product is perpendicular to both vectors being multiplied together  The cross product between two parallel vectors is the zero vector (0, 0, 0)

31. The Cross Product The cross product between V and W is A helpful tool for remembering this formula is the pseudodeterminant

32. The Cross Product The cross product can also be expressed as the matrix-vector product The perpendicularity property means

33. The Cross Product The cross product satisfies the trigonometric relationship This is the area of the parallelogram formed by V and W  V W ||V|| sin 

34. The Cross Product The area A of a triangle with vertices P 1, P 2, and P 3 is thus given by

35. The Cross Product Cross products obey the right hand rule  If first vector points along right thumb, and second vector points along right fingers,  Then cross product points out of right palm Reversing order of vectors negates the cross product:  Cross product is anticommutative

36. Transformations Calculations are often carried out in many different coordinate systems We must be able to transform information from one coordinate system to another easily Matrix multiplication allows us to do this

37. Transformations Suppose that the coordinate axes in one coordinate system correspond to the directions R, S, and T in another Then we transform a vector V to the RST system as follows

38. ILLustration

39. Transformation matrix We transform back to the original system by inverting the matrix: Often, the matrix ’ s inverse is equal to its transpose — such a matrix is called orthogonal

40. Transformations A 3  3 matrix can reorient the coordinate axes in any way, but it leaves the origin fixed We must add a translation component D to move the origin:

41. Transformations Homogeneous coordinates  Four-dimensional space  Combines 3  3 matrix and translation into one 4  4 matrix

42. Transformations V is now a four-dimensional vector  The w-coordinate of V determines whether V is a point or a direction vector  If w = 0, then V is a direction vector and the fourth column of the transformation matrix has no effect  If w  0, then V is a point and the fourth column of the matrix translates the origin  Normally, w = 1 for points

43. Transformations The three-dimensional counterpart of a four-dimensional homogeneous vector V is given by Scaling a homogeneous vector thus has no effect on its actual 3D value

44. Transformations Transformation matrices are often the result of combining several simple transformations  Translations  Scales  Rotations Transformations are combined by multiplying their matrices together

45. Transformation Steps

46. Orderings

47. Orderings of different type is important A rotation followed by a translation is different from a translation followed by a rotation Orderings of the same type does not matter

48. Transformations Translation matrix Translates the origin by the vector T

49. Transformations Scale matrix Scales coordinate axes by a, b, and c If a = b = c, the scale is uniform

50. Transformations Rotation matrix Rotates points about the z-axis through the angle 

51. Transformations Similar matrices for rotations about x, y

52. Transformations Normal vectors transform differently than do ordinary points and directions  A normal vector represents the direction pointing out of a surface  A normal vector is perpendicular to the tangent plane  If a matrix M transforms points from one coordinate system to another, then normal vectors must be transformed by (M -1 ) T

53. Geometry A line in 3D space is represented by  S is a point on the line, and V is the direction along which the line runs  Any point P on the line corresponds to a value of the parameter t Two lines are parallel if their direction vectors are parallel

54. Geometry A plane in 3D space can be defined by a normal direction N and a point P Other points in the plane satisfy P Q N

55. Geometry A plane equation is commonly written A, B, and C are the components of the normal direction N, and D is given by for any point P in the plane

56. Geometry A plane is often represented by the 4D vector (A, B, C, D) If a 4D homogeneous point P lies in the plane, then (A, B, C, D)  P = 0 If a point does not lie in the plane, then the dot product tells us which side of the plane the point lies on

57. Geometry Distance d from a point P to a line S + t V P VS d

58. Geometry Use Pythagorean theorem: Taking square root, If V is unit length, then V 2 = 1

59. Geometry Intersection of a line and a plane  Let P(t) = S + t V be the line  Let L = (N, D) be the plane  We want to find t such that L  P(t) = 0  Careful, S has w-coordinate of 1, and V has w-coordinate of 0

60. Geometry If L  V = 0, the line is parallel to the plane and no intersection occurs Otherwise, the point of intersection is
