Fit an affine transformation to given points
Fit an affine transformation to given points
This module finds, by least squares fitting, an affine transformation that (approximately) transforms given set of points/vertices/vector to another. It works with arbitrary dimensional points and requires at least dim points, when your points are dim-dimensional.
The original algorithm from Jarno Elonen [email protected] was translated from python to javascript and can be found at python affine-fit.
var affineFit = require('affinefit')
var res
var fromPts = [[1, 1], [1, 2], [2, 2], [2, 1]] // a 1x1 rectangle
var toPts = [[4, 4], [6, 6], [8, 4], [6, 2]] // scaled x 2, rotated 45 degrees and translated
var trn = affineFit(fromPts, toPts)
res = trn([1, 2])
//> [ 5.999999999999998, 5.999999999999999 ]
res = trn([1.5, 1.5])
//> [ 6, 4 ]
// to obtain the matrix in "Row echelon form" use `trn.M`
var matrix = trn.M
//> [ [ 1, 0, 0, 2, -2 ],
//> [ 0, 1, 0, 2, 2 ],
//> [ 0, 0, 1, 0, 4 ] ]Run the example from ./test/example.js which transforms the given svg image
using the transform
[[1, 1], [1, 2], [2, 2], [2, 1]] => [[4, 4], [6, 6], [8, 4], [6, 2]]
