  1. Plücker Coordinate of a Line in 3-Space Spring 2013

  2. L Q P O Motivation • The other way of representing lines in 3-space is parametric equation • We are interested in learning the aspects/features of Plucker coordinates that make life easier! Spring 2013

  3. References • Plucker coordinate tutorial, K. Shoemake [rtnews] • Plucker coordinates for the rest of us, L. Brits [flipcode] • Plucker line coordinate, J. Erickson [cgafaq] Spring 2013

  4. Introduction • A line in 3-space has four degree-of-freedom (why so?!) • Plucker coordinates are concise and efficient for numerous chores • One special case of Grassmann coordinates • Uniformly manage points, lines, planes and flats in spaces of any dimension. • Can generate, intersect, … with simple equations. Spring 2013

  5. q0 p q Mason’s Version Line in parametric form Define Plucker coordinate of the line (q, q0) Six coordinate 4 DOFs: O • (q, q0): q0, q00: general line • (q, q0): q0, q0=0: line through origin • (q, q0): q=0, (q0=0): [not allowed] Spring 2013

  6. The following are from Shoemake’s note… Spring 2013

  7. Summary 1/3 Spring 2013

  8. Summary 2/3 Spring 2013

  9. Summary 3/3 Spring 2013

  10. Notations • Upper case letter: a 3-vector U = (ux,uy,uz) • Vector U; homogeneous version (U:0) • Point P; homo version (P:1), (P:w) • Cross and dot product: PQ, U.V • Plane equation: ax+by+cz+dw=0 • [a:b:c:d] or [D:d] with D=(a,b,c) • [D:0] origin plane: plane containing origin • Plucker coordinate: {U:V} • Colon “:” proclaims homogeneity Spring 2013

  11. L Q P O L={P-Q:PQ} Determinant Definition … row x … row y … row z … row w Make all possible determinants of pairs of rows P–Q PQ Spring 2013

  12. L Q P O Example P=(2,3,7), Q=(2,1,0). L = {U:V} = {0:2:7:-7:14:-4}. Order does not matter identical Q=(2,3,7), P=(2,1,0). L = {U:V} = {0:-2:-7:7:-14:4} Identical lines: two lines are distinct IFF their Plucker coordinates are linearly independent Spring 2013

  13. U×Q O U P L Q L={U:UQ} Tangent-Normal Definition PQ: {U:V} U = P–Q V = P×Q = (U+Q)×Q = U×Q (U:0)  direction of line [V:0] origin plane through L Question: any pair of points P,Q gives the same {U:V}? Yes {p.14} Spring 2013

  14. Example y U=(1,0,-1) Q=(0,0,1) UQ = (0,-1,0) L={1:0:-1:0:-1:0} x y z If we reverse the tangent: U=(-1,0,1) Q=(0,0,1) UQ = (0,1,0) L={-1:0:1:0:1:0} … still get the same line (but different orientation) Spring 2013

  15. L Q U P P’ O Remark P’=Q+kU U’ = P’– Q = kU V’ = P’×Q = (Q+kU) ×Q = kU×Q P’Q {kU:kV} Moving P and/or Q scales U & V together! Similar to homogeneous coordinates Spring 2013

  16. Remarks • Six numbers in Plucker coordinate {U:V} are not independent. • Line in R3 has 4 dof. : six variables, two equations: one from homogeneity; one from U.V = 0 • Geometric interpretation {U:V} • U: line tangent (U0, by definition) • V: the normal of origin plane containing L (V=0  L through origin) • Identical lines: two lines are distinct IFF their Plucker coordinates are linearly independent Ex: {0:-2:-7:7:-14:4} and {0:4:14:-14:28:-8} are the same (but different orientation); {2:1:0:0:0:0} is different Spring 2013

  17. y x z L={P-Q:PQ} L={U:UQ} Exercise P=(0,1,0) Q=(1,0,0) P=(1,0,0) Q=(0,1,0) Q P U=(2,-2,0) Q=(0,1,0) U=(-1,1,0) Q=(0,1,0) U=(1,-1,0) Q=(0,1,0) Spring 2013

  18. L Q U T Vector triple product O Distance to Origin T: closest to origin Any Q on L: Q = T + sU V = U×Q = U×(T+sU) =U×T ||V|| = ||U|| ||T|| sin90 = ||U|| ||T|| T.T = (V.V) / (U.U) V×U=(U×T)×U = (U.U)T T=(V×U:U.U) Squared distance: L={U:V} Closest point: Spring 2013

  19. Example y U=(1,0,-1) Q=(0,0,1) UQ = (0,-1,0) L={1:0:-1:0:-1:0} T=(V×U:U.U) = (1:0:1:2)= (1/2,0,1/2) Squared distance = (V.V)/(U.U) = 1/2 x y z Spring 2013

  20. [E:e] [F:f] L Line as Intersection of Two Planes1 Plane equation: ax + by + cz + d = 0 P = (x,y,z), point on L E.P + e = 0 F.P + f = 0 f(E.P+e) – e(F.P+f) = 0 (fE – eF).P = 0 fE-eF defines the normal of an origin plane through L direction U = EF P L = {EF: fE – eF} Spring 2013

  21. Example y E = [1:0:0:-1] F = [0:0:1:0] L = {EF:fE-eF} = {0:-1:0:0:0:1} Check P = (1,1,0), Q = (1,0,0) L = {P-Q:PQ} = {0:1:0:0:0:-1} P x Q z z = 0 [0:0:1:0] x = 1 [1:0:0:-1] Spring 2013

  22. Line as Intersection of Two Planes2 • If both planes do not pass through origin, e0 and f0, we can normalize both planes to [E:1] and [F:1]. • The intersecting line then becomes {EF:E-F} L Q [E:1] [F:1] {P-Q:PQ} P {EF:E-F} L Duality! O Spring 2013

  23. [V:0] origin plane thru L (V0) [UV:V.V] plane thru L  [V:0] (U:0) direction of L T=(VU:U.U) point of L  (U:0) L Q U T O Other Duality L={U:V} [UV:V.V] Verify! (next page) O [V:0] P.18 Spring 2013

  27. {U:V}  [N:n] = (VN–nU:U.N) U=(1,0,-1) Q=(0,0,1) UQ = (0,-1,0) L={1:0:-1:0:-1:0} VN–nU = (-1,0,0) – (-2)(1,0,-1) = (1,0,-2) U.N = (1,0,-1).(-1,0,0) = -1 Intersection at (-1,0,2)! Example y x Intersect with y = 0, [0:1:0:0] (VN:U.N) = (0:0:0:0), overlap Intersect with y = 1, [0:1:0:-1] (VN–nU:U.N) = (1:0:-1:0) Intersect at infinity y z Z = 2 [0:0:1:-2] Spring 2013

  28. Derivation pending Common Plane1 {U:V} and (P:w)  [UP-wV:V.P] y U = (0,0,1) V = UQ = (0,0,1) (0,1,0) = (-1,0,0) (P:w) = (1:1:0:1) [UP-wV:V.P] = [0:1:0:-1] x z Spring 2013

  29. Common Plane2 Derivation pending {U:V} and (N:0)  [UN:V.N] y U = (0,0,1) V = UQ = (-1,0,0) N = (1,0,0) …(-1,0,0) get the same … (1,0,1) also get the same (N need not ⊥U) [UN:V.N] = [0:1:0:-1] x z Spring 2013
