Syntax

TF = isTranslation(tform)

Description

example

TF = isTranslation(tform) determines whether or not the rigid or affine transformation specified by tform is a pure translation.

Examples

collapse all

Create an affine2d object that defines a pure translation.

A = [ 1  0  0
      0  1  0
     40 40  1 ];

tform = affine2d(A)
tform = 

  affine2d with properties:

                 T: [3x3 double]
    Dimensionality: 2

Check if the transformation is a pure translation.

tf = isTranslation(tform)

tf =

     1

Create an affine3d object that defines a different scale factor in each dimension.

Sx = 1.2;
Sy = 1.6;
Sz = 2.4;
tform = affine3d([Sx 0 0 0; 0 Sy 0 0; 0 0 Sz 0; 0 0 0 1]);
tf = 

  affine3d with properties:

                 T: [4x4 double]
    Dimensionality: 3

Check if the transformation is a pure translation. Since tform scales the object, 

tf = isTranslation(tform)
tf =

     0

As expected, the transformation is not a pure translation since scaling changes the size and shape of an input volume.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Geometric transformation, specified as an affine2d, affine3d, or rigid2d geometric transformation object.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Flag indicating pure translation transformation, returned as a logical scalar. TF is True when tform represents a pure translation.

Data Types: logical

Translation Transformation

A translation transformation shifts an image without modifying the image size, shape, or orientation. A 2-D translation is represented by a matrix T of the form:

 [1 0 0;
  0 1 0;
  e f 1];

A 3-D translation is represented by a matrix of the form:

 [1 0 0 0;
  0 1 0 0;
  0 0 1 0;
  j k l 1];
