Questions tagged [rigid-transformation]
Rigid transformations are mappings from one reference frame to another reference frame in the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n$. They comprise translation, rotation (and sometimes reflection). More formally, rigid transformation are elements of the matrix Lie group SE($n$), the specially Euclidean group. If reflection is included, these proper rigid transformations are elements of the matrix Lie group E($n$), the Euclidean group.
