How to convert the points with respect to co-ordinate system?

3 views (last 30 days)
I have huge three 90*85 matrices with x,y,z values calculated from the left upper corner of the matrix. I would like to change the points with respect to new coordinate system.
How can I convert the points? Do you need more explanation?

@Swapnil Rane: Yes, we do indeed need much more explanation. Aside from simply applying the conversion formulas from the current to the new coordinate systems for each triplet within the three respective matrices, what is it you are asking?
Also what is the significance of the phrase "calculated from the left upper corner"? What does it matter how these original values were calculated, with regard to the task of computing the necessary conversions?

I have imported a image to find the pixel values. As per my knowledge the location of (0,0) of the matrix in the left upper corner. But the local coordinate system is at the centre of the body. How can I create a transformation matrix? to convert all the points according to the new coordinate system

Usually you would create a transformation matrix, either 3 x 3 or 4 x 4, and you would take the three matrices and reshape them and concatenate them to create columns of a vector, and then use matrix multiplication by the transformation matrix. Take the N x 3 or N x 4 matrix that results and reshape the columns back to the original size of your input matrices.

Thank you for your answer. I really appreciate it. Could you tell me the transformation matrix for this case? This would will be very helpful

Just subtract off the location of the center from the coordinates.
x_center = mean(x(:));
y_center = mean(y(:));
z_center = mean(z(:));
newx = x - x_center;
newy = y - y_center;
newz = z - z_center;

I just want to transform the coordinate system and get the location of points according to new coordinate system
