Study Notes

Describing Matrices

  • A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers represented by a capital letter.
  • Matrix entries (𝑎𝑖𝑗) are defined by their row (𝑖) and column (𝑗).
  • Matrices are described by their dimensions: 𝑚 × 𝑛 (𝑚 rows, 𝑛 columns)
  • A square matrix has the same number of rows and columns.
  • A row matrix has one row (1 × 𝑛).
  • A column matrix has one column (𝑚 × 1).

Matrix Operations

  • Addition and Subtraction: Matrices can only be added/subtracted if they have the same dimensions. Corresponding entries are added/subtracted.
  • Scalar Multiplication: Multiplying a matrix by a scalar involves multiplying each entry by the scalar.
  • Matrix Multiplication:
    • Possible only when the number of columns in the first matrix equals the number of rows in the second matrix (inner dimensions match).
    • The resulting matrix's dimensions are determined by the outer dimensions.
    • The product of two matrices is calculated by taking the dot product of rows from the first matrix with columns from the second matrix.
  • MATLAB Commands: - Transpose: A' - Determinant: det(A) - Inverse: inv(A)

Matrices in MATLAB

  • Creating Matrices:

    • Row vectors: Elements separated by commas or spaces (e.g., A=[1 2 3 4])
    • Multiple rows: Rows separated by semicolons (e.g., A=[1 2 ;3 4;5 6])
    • Functions: ones(), zeros(), rand(), eye()
  • Matrix Operations:

    • Adding a constant: A+10
    • Transposing: A'
    • Matrix multiplication: A*B
    • Element-wise multiplication: A.*B
    • Element-wise power: A.^3
    • Concatenation:
      • Horizontal: [A A]
      • Vertical: [A; A]
      • Specific dimension: cat(dim, A, B)
    • Rotation: rot90(A)
  • Matrix Indexing:

    • Accessing elements:
      • Row/column subscripts: A(4,2)
      • Single subscript: A(8)
    • Expanding matrix size: A(4,5)=17
    • Range of elements: Use the colon (:), e.g., A(1:2, 3:4)

Image Representation in MATLAB

  • Digital Images as Matrices:
    • An image is represented by a 2D function 𝑓 (𝑥, 𝑦) where 𝑥 and 𝑦 are spatial coordinates.
    • 𝑓 (𝑥, 𝑦) represents the intensity of the image at a specific point.
    • A digital image is a MATLAB matrix with each element representing a pixel.
