In mathematics, a translation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x'y'-Cartesian coordinate system in which the x' axis is parallel to the x axis and k units away, and the y' axis is parallel to the y axis and h units away.
The three coordinates (ρ, φ, z) of a point P are defined as: The radial distance ρ is the Euclidean distance from the z-axis to the point P.; The azimuth φ is the angle between the reference direction on the chosen plane and the line from the origin to the projection of P on the plane.
In physics, a Galilean transformation is used to transform between the coordinates of two reference frames which differ only by constant relative motion within the constructs of Newtonian physics.
In the active transformation (left), a point P is transformed to point P ′ by rotating clockwise by angle θ about the origin of a fixed coordinate system. In the passive transformation (right), point P stays fixed, while the coordinate system rotates counterclockwise by an angle θ about its origin.
The direct-quadrature-zero (DQZ, DQ0 [1] or DQO, [2] sometimes lowercase) or Park transformation (named after Robert H. Park) is a tensor that rotates the reference frame of a three-element vector or a three-by-three element matrix in an effort to simplify analysis.
Trilateration in three-dimensional geometry Intersection point of three pseudo-ranges. Trilateration is the use of distances (or "ranges") for determining the unknown position coordinates of a point of interest, often around Earth (geopositioning). [1]
Gnomonic projection of a portion of the north hemisphere centered on the geographic North Pole The gnomonic projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation. A gnomonic projection, also known as a central projection or rectilinear projection, is a perspective projection of a sphere, with center of projection at the sphere's center, onto any plane not passing through the center, most commonly ...
