Euclidean and Affine geometries<br />

◮ In the special case of when A is a rotation (i.e.,<br />

AA t = A t A = I, then the trans<strong>for</strong>mation is Euclidean.<br />

◮ An affine trans<strong>for</strong>mation preserves parallelism and ratios of<br />

lengths along parallel directions.<br />

◮ An Euclidean trans<strong>for</strong>mation, in addition to the above, also<br />

preserves lengths and angles.<br />

◮ Since an affine (or Euclidean) trans<strong>for</strong>mation preserves<br />

parallelism it cannot be used to describe a pinhole projection.<br />
