how to transform custom numerical data

Posted 10 years ago

I have imported data from multiple files using testlist=Table[Import["E:\processeddata\pdata\SC1\S1S2\S1S2_" <> ToString[i] <> ".txt", "Data"], {i, 10}]

How to apply rotation and translation on this data (geometrical transformation)

sample data

D1 D2 D4 D5

41.9 199.6 14.2 26.4

61.4 17.1 20.8 159.8

What exactly do you want to do with this data? Give an example.

The data provided is prepossessed distance data from IR sensor...I am trying to transform the data taken from diagonal path to make it similar to reference path which is in y axis.After that i need to do clustering.

for example a data collected from path (200, 0) to (0 ,200) is to be translated -200 in y axis and rotated in -45 degree and then translated +100 to be compared to data collected from path (0, 100) to (100, 100)

Thanks

I also find this difficult to understand. Are these distances in an XY plane? Given in columns?

Perhaps you are trying to use a reference measurement which is made from a calibrated source at some y position with x = 0?

If that is correct: Are you trying to correct for distance by inverse square law? Are you correcting for the cosine factor in the angle of incidence? And are the sources Lambertian emitters?

We may need a picture.
