| Abstract | For many biomechanical applications it is necessary to determine the parameters which describe the transformation of a rigid body from one reference frame to another. These parameters are a scaling factor, an attitude matrix, and a translation vector. The paper presents a new procedure for the determination of these parameters incorporating the work of Arun et al. [IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Machine Intell, 9, 698-700 (1987)] but expanding their analysis to allow for the determination of a scale factor, the scalar weighting of the least-squares problem, and the problem of obtaining the incorrect determinant when determining the attitude matrix. The procedure, which requires the coordinates of three or more non-collinear points, is based around the singular value decomposition, and provides a least-squares estimate of the rigid body transformation parameters. Examples are presented of the use of this procedure for determining the attitude of a rigid body, and for osteometric scaling. When used for osteometric scaling mirror transformations are possible, therefore a right-hand specimen can be scaled to the left-hand side of another specimen. |
