TO MATRIX EXPONENTIAL FOR CG
Sunday, 24 July, 2-3:30 pm
INTRODUCTORY
This intuitive and visual introduction to
mathematical concepts in computer
graphics basics begins with 2D translation
and rotation, then describes 3D affine
transformation, quaternions, dual
quaternions, and more. These concepts are
explained via the mathematical concept of
matrix exponential and illustrated with a few
simple animation examples.
