Image Transformation: A Matrix
Example
Original Image
The original image is represented as a matrix of pixel values.
Transformation Matrix
A transformation matrix defines the desired geometric changes, such as
rotation or scaling.
Matrix Multiplication
Multiplying the original image matrix by the transformation matrix creates
the transformed image.
Transformed Image
The resulting matrix represents the image after the specified transformation
has been applied. Name: Saman Pandey
