I want to create the same transforming effect on XNA 4 as Photoshop does:
Transform tool is used to scale, rotate, skew, and just distort the perspective of any graphic you’re working with in general
This is what all the things i want to do in XNA with any textures http://www.tutorial9.net/tutorials/photoshop-tutorials/using-transform-in-photoshop/
Skew: Skew transformations slant objects either vertically or horizontally.
Distort: Distort transformations allow you to stretch an image in ANY direction freely.
Perspective: The Perspective transformation allows you to add perspective to an object.
Warping an Object(Im interesting the most).
Hope you can help me with some tutorial or somwthing already made :D, iam think vertex has the solution but maybe.
Thanks.
Probably the easiest way to do this in XNA is to pass a Matrix to SpriteBatch.Begin. This is the overload you want to use: MSDN (the transformMatrix argument).
You can also do this with raw vertices, with an effect like BasicEffect by setting its World matrix. Or by setting vertex positions manually, perhaps transforming them with Vector3.Transform().
Most of the transformation matrices you want are provided by the Matrix.Create*() methods (MSDN). For example, CreateScale and CreateRotationZ.
There is no provided method for creating a skew matrix. It should be something like this:
Matrix skew = Matrix.Identity;
skew.M12 = (float)Math.Tan(MathHelper.ToRadians(36.87f));
(That is to skew by 36.87f degrees, which I pulled off this old answer of mine. You should be able to find the full maths for a skew matrix via Google.)
Remember that transformations happen around the origin of world space (0,0). If you want to, for example, scale around the centre of your sprite, you need to translate that sprite's centre to the origin, apply a scale, and then translate it back again. You can combine matrix transforms by multiplying them. This example (untested) will scale a 200x200 image around its centre:
Matrix myMatrix = Matrix.CreateTranslation(-100, -100, 0)
* Matrix.CreateScale(2f, 0.5f, 1f)
* Matrix.CreateTranslation(100, 100, 0);
Note: avoid scaling the Z axis to 0, even in 2D.
For perspective there is CreatePerspective. This creates a projection matrix, which is a specific kind of matrix for projecting a 3D scene onto a 2D display, so it is better used with vertices when setting (for example) BasicEffect.Projection. In this case you're best off doing proper 3D rendering.
For distort, just use vertices and place them manually wherever you need them.

Assuming I have a view (or image) like this:
And I'd like to transform it to look like this:
How do I create a CATransform3D matrix for that based on the 4 corners coordinates of the shape I'd like image to be transformed to?
You can't do that with a CGAffineTransform.
A CGAffineTransform is an euclidean transformation, meaning all parallel lines will remain parallel in all cases. You only can stretch, rotate, scale and translate the object.
It will be possible with a 3D affine transform. But there is no function to get the transform based on the projection (that's what you are asking for). You'll need to do the math yourself. I can't help you with that, but someone used to 3d gaming will do it it a breeze.
I would go down the path of using a 3rd party framework that makes the transformation for you. Take a look at this
I have a simple UIImageView in my view, but I can't seem to find any feature in Apple's documentation to change the UV Coordinates of this UIImageView, to convey my idea to you, this GIF file should preview how changing 4 vertices coordinates can change how the image gets viewed on the final UIImageView.
I tried to find a solution online too (other than documentation) and found none.
I use Swift.
You can achieve that very animation using UIView.transform or CALayer.transform. You'll need basic geometry to convert UV coordinates to a CGAffineTransform or CATransform3D.
I made an assumption that affine transform would suffice because in your animation the transform is affine (parallel lines stay parallel). In that case, 3 vertices are free -- the 4th one is constrained by the other 3.
If you have 3 vertices, you can compute the affine transform matrix using: Affine transformation algorithm
To achieve the infinite repeat, use UIImageResizingMode.Tile.
I have a single cloud texture that I want to displace arbitrarily along the Y ("vertical") axis of a SCNNode spherical geometry, to give the illusion there are many different textures of clouds.
I read the docs about SCNMaterialProperty, CATransform3D rotation, but I'm completely lost. In a 3D program, you can set your texture "origin" along the X, Y and Z axis -- what is the equivalent in Scene Kit / Core Animation ?
Thanks for your help!
SCNMaterialProperty has a contentsTransform property that allows you to animate texture coordinates. You can also use shader modifiers if you want more control and depending on th effect you want to achieve.
In the Bananas sample code from WWDC 2014 this technique is used to animate the smoke emitted by the volcano in the background.
I finally ended up with this:
self.cloudNode.rotation = SCNVector4Make(0.0,
1.0,
0.0,
arc4random_uniform(360)*M_PI/180.0);
I'm not a maths genius anyway.
I have a rotation-translation matrix [R T] (3x4).
Is there a function in opencv that performs the rotation-translation described by [R T]?
A lot of solutions to this question I think make hidden assumptions. I will try to give you a quick summary of how I think about this problem (I have had to think about it a lot in the past). Warping between two images is a 2 dimensional process accomplished by a 3x3 matrix called a homography. What you have is a 3x4 matrix which defines a transform in 3 dimensions. You can convert between the two by treating your image as a flat plane in 3 dimensional space. The trick then is to decide on the initial position in world space of your image plane. You can then transform its position and project it onto a new image plane with your camera intrinsics matrix.
The first step is to decide where your initial image lies in world space, note that this does not have to be the same as your initial R and T matrices specify. Those are in world coordinates, we are talking about the image created by that world, all the objects in the image have been flattened into a plane. The simplest decision here is to set the image at a fixed displacement on the z axis and no rotation. From this point on I will assume no rotation. If you would like to see the general case I can provide it but it is slightly more complicated.
Next you define the transform between your two images in 3d space. Since you have both transforms with respect to the same origin, the transform from [A] to [B] is the same as the transform from [A] to your origin, followed by the transform from the origin to [B]. You can get that by
transform = [B]*inverse([A])
Now conceptually what you need to do is to take your first image, project its pixels onto the geometric interpretation of your image in 3d space, then transform those pixels in 3d space by the transform above, then project them back onto a new 2d image with your camera matrix. Those steps need to be combined into a single 3x3 matrix.
cv::Matx33f convert_3x4_to_3x3(cv::Matx34f pose, cv::Matx33f camera_mat, float zpos)
{
//converted condenses the 3x4 matrix which transforms a point in world space
//to a 3x3 matrix which transforms a point in world space. Instead of
//multiplying pose by a 4x1 3d homogeneous vector, by specifying that the
//incoming 3d vectors will ALWAYS have a z coordinate of zpos, one can instead
//multiply converted by a homogeneous 2d vector and get the same output for x and y.
cv::Matx33f converted(pose(0,0),pose(0,1),pose(0,2)*zpos+pose(0,3),
pose(1,0),pose(1,1),pose(1,2)*zpos+pose(1,3),
pose(2,0),pose(2,1),pose(2,2)*zpos+pose(2,3));
//This matrix will take a homogeneous 2d coordinate and "projects" it onto a
//flat plane at zpos. The x and y components of the incoming homogeneous 2d
//coordinate will be correct, the z component is dropped.
cv::Matx33f projected(1,0,0,
0,1,0,
0,0,zpos);
projected = projected*camera_mat.inv();
//now we have the pieces. A matrix which can take an incoming 2d point, and
//convert it into a pseudo 3d point (x and y correspond to 3d, z is unused)
//and a matrix which can take our pseudo 3d point and transform it correctly.
//Now we just need to turn our transformed pseudo 3d point back into a 2d point
//in our new image, to do that simply multiply by the camera matrix.
return camera_mat*converted*projected;
}
This is probably a more complicated answer than you were looking for but I hope it gives you an idea of what you are asking. This can be very confusing and I glazed over some parts of it quickly, feel free to ask for clarification. If you need the solution to work without the assumption that the initial image appears without rotation let me know, I just didn't want to make it more complicated than it needed to be.
I have been wondering for a while about how the transform matrix in spriteBatch is implemented. I've created a 2D camera, and the transform matrix is as follows:
if (needUpdate)
transformMatrix =
Matrix.CreateTranslation(-Position.X, -Position.Y, 0) *
Matrix.CreateScale(curZoom, curZoom, 1) ; needUpdate = false;
The camera works as good as I want, but I just want to know how the transformation is applied: Does the transformation only affects the axis of the sprites, or the screen co-ordinates too?
Thanks in advance!
I see you've answered your own question, but to provide complete information - SpriteBatch provides a similar interface to the traditional world-view-projection system of transformations.
The SpriteBatch class has an implicit projection matrix that takes coordinates in the "client space" of the viewport ((0,0) at the top left, one unit per pixel) and puts them on screen.
The Begin call has an overload that accepts a transformation matrix, which is the equivalent of a view matrix used for moving the camera around.
And the Draw call, while not actually using a matrix, allows you to specify position, rotation, scale, etc - equivalent to a world matrix used for positioning a model in the scene (model space to world space).
So you start with your "model" equivalent - which for SpriteBatch is a quad (sprite) of the size of the texture (or source rectangle). When drawn, that quad is transformed to its world coordinates, then that is transformed to its view coordinates, and then finally that is transformed to its projection coordinates.
