How do you find the homography matrix given 4 points in both images?

To understand homographies and how to find them, you will need a good dose of projective geometry. I will briefly describe some preliminary concepts that you need to know before trying to find the hom …

How to express a fully connected neural network succintly using linear algebra?

The equation $$\hat{y} = \sigma(xW_\color{green}{1})W_\color{blue}{2} \tag{1}\label{1}$$ is the equation of the forward pass of a single-hidden layer fully connected and feedforward neural network, i. …

Is there any difference between affine transformation and linear transformation?

In linear algebra, a linear transformation (aka linear map or linear transform) $f: \mathcal{V} \rightarrow \mathcal{W}$ is a function that satisfies the following two conditions $f(u + v)=f(u)+f(v)$ …

Is there any way to apply linear transformations on a vector other than matrix multiplication?

You can sometimes exploit the structure of your matrix to perform faster matrix multiplication. For example, if your matrix is sparse (or dense), there are algorithms that exploit this fact. In your …

What's the difference between a 1d tensor and a 2d tensor with 1 dimension?

The required shape of the tensor $T$ depends on the shape of other tensors that are involved in the same operations of that same tensor $T$ and the required/desired shape of the resulting tensor, in t …

How can we find the value function by solving a system of linear equations?

First of all, we assume that we have a finite MDP, i.e. the set of states $\mathcal{S}$, the set of actions $\mathcal{A}$ and the set of rewards $\mathcal{R}$ all have a finite number of elements (I d …
