1.2. Vector

1.2.1. Vector Parameterized form

  • \(\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{x}_0+k\mathbf{d}\)
  • \(\mathbf{d}\) consists of the denominators from ((652778ff-870f-4b88-89de-08a76ccccd86)).
    • \[ \mathbf{d}=\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\\\vdots\end{bmatrix} \]

1.2.2. Affine Form

  • Or Convex combination form, Barycentric form
  • \(\mathbf{x}=t\mathbf{x_1}+(1-t)\mathbf{x_2}\)

1.2.3. Circle Secant Form

  • Line that passes through two points on a circle, such that two tangent lines at the points passes through some point \(\bf a\):
    • \((\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{x_0})\cdot(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{x_0})=r^2\)
    • From the ((652781e2-c54f-43c7-8265-22d95d32c26c)) of the equation of circle.
    • Although it started from a notion of tangent lines, but it also works for the points inside of a circle.
    • Related to

1.2.4. Circle Tangent Form

  • Tangent line of a circle
  • \((\mathbf{x}_1-\mathbf{x}_0)\cdot(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{x_0})=r^2\) where \(\mathbf{x}_1\) is a point on the circle.

1.3. Plücker Coordinates

  • Six homogeneous coordinates that corresponds to a line in projective 3-space \(\mathbb{P}^3\).
  • It consists of a displacement \(\mathbf{d}\) and a moment \(\mathbf{m}\): \((d_1: d_2: d_3: m_1: m_2: m_3)\).
    • For two points \(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y}\) on the line, \(\mathbf{d} = \mathbf{y} - \mathbf{x}\) and \(\mathbf{m} = \mathbf{x}\times \mathbf{y}\).
      • The moment is perpendicular to the plane that passes through the line and the origin.
    • Alternatively, since the equation of line can be described as the intersection of two planes: \[

      \begin{cases} \mathbf{a\cdot x} + a = 0\\ \mathbf{b\cdot x} + b = 0 \end{cases}

      \]

    • \(\mathbf{d} = \mathbf{a\times b}\) and \(\mathbf{m} = a\mathbf{b} - b\mathbf{a}\).
