affinetform2d

2-D affine geometric transformation

Since R2022b

    Description

    An affinetform2d object stores information about a 2-D affine geometric transformation and enables forward and inverse transformations.

    Creation

    You can create an affinetform2d object in these ways:

    • imregtform — Estimate a geometric transformation that maps a moving image to a fixed image using similarity optimization.

    • imregcorr — Estimate a geometric transformation that maps a moving image to a fixed image using phase correlation.

    • fitgeotform2d — Estimate a geometric transformation that maps pairs of control points between two images.

    • randomAffine2d — Create a randomized 2-D affine transformation.

    • The affinetform2d function described here.

    Description

    tform = affinetform2d creates an affinetform2d object that performs an identity transformation.

    example

    tform = affinetform2d(A) creates an affinetform2d object and sets the property A as the specified 2-D affine transformation matrix.

    tform = affinetform2d(tformIn) creates an affinetform2d object from another geometric transformation object, tformIn, that represents a valid 2-D affine geometric transformation.

    Input Arguments

    Affine 2-D geometric transformation, specified as an affinetform2d object, rigidtform2d object, simtform2d object, transltform2d object, or projtform2d object.

    Properties

    expand all

    Forward 2-D affine transformation, specified as a 3-by-3 numeric matrix. When you create the object, you can also specify A as a 2-by-3 numeric matrix. In this case, the object concatenates the row vector [0 0 1] to the end of the matrix, forming a 3-by-3 matrix. The default value of A is the identity matrix.

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

    [xy1]=Α×[uv1]

    For an affine transformation, A has the form:

    Α=[abcdef001]

    Data Types: double | single

    This property is read-only.

    Dimensionality of the geometric transformation for both input and output points, specified as the value 2.

    Object Functions

    invertInvert geometric transformation
    outputLimitsFind output spatial limits given input spatial limits
    transformPointsForwardApply forward geometric transformation
    transformPointsInverseApply inverse geometric transformation

    Examples

    Define a 3-by-3 geometric transformation matrix. This example specifies a matrix for an affine transformation consisting of vertical shear and horizontal stretch.

    A = [2 0 0; 0.33 1 0; 0 0 1];

    Create an affinetform2d object from the transformation matrix.

    tform = affinetform2d(A)
    tform = 
      affinetform2d with properties:
    
        Dimensionality: 2
    
                     A: [2.0000         0         0
                         0.3300    1.0000         0
                              0         0    1.0000]
    
    

    Read and display an image.

    I = imread("pout.tif");
    imshow(I)

    Apply the geometric transformation to the image, and display the result.

    J = imwarp(I,tform);
    imshow(J)
