This work is devoted to the relativistic generalization of Chasles' theorem, namely to the proof that every proper orthochronous isometry of Minkowski spacetime, which sends some point to its chronological future, is generated through the…
Fitting a matrix of a given rank to data in a least squares sense can be done very effectively using 2nd order methods such as Levenberg-Marquardt by explicitly optimizing over a bilinear parameterization of the matrix. In contrast, when…

Point cloud registration is a fundamental problem in 3D scanning. In this paper, we address the frequent special case of registering terrestrial LiDAR scans (or, more generally, levelled point clouds). Many current solutions still rely on…

It is shown that in Minkowski space there exist transformations of the coordinates of events alternative to the 3-parameter Lorentz boosts. However, in contrast to the boosts, they constitute a 3-parameter noncompact group which, in turn,…

Explicit formulae for the $4\times 4$ Lorentz transformation matrices corresponding to a pure boost and a pure three-dimensional rotation are very well-known. Significantly less well-known is the explicit formula for a general Lorentz…
There exist numerous ways of representing 3D orientations. Each representation has both limitations and unique features. Choosing the best representation for one task is often a difficult chore, and there exist conflicting opinions on which…
We propose a new approach to the study of rotational surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space based on the notion of the geometric linear momentum of the generatrix curves with respect to the axes of revolution. This technique allows us to…
