Constructor Detail

SuperPositionQuat

public SuperPositionQuat(boolean centered)

Constructor for the quaternion based superposition algorithm.

Parameters:

centered - true if the point arrays are centered at the origin (faster), false otherwise

Method Detail

superpose

public javax.vecmath.Matrix4d superpose(javax.vecmath.Point3d[] fixed,
                                        javax.vecmath.Point3d[] moved)

Description copied from interface: SuperPosition

Obtain the superposition matrix that minimizes the RMSD between two arrays of equivalent points.

The two point arrays have to be of the same length and the order of points have to be the same, so that a specific position in the one array is equivalent to the same position in the other array.

Parameters:

fixed - point array as reference, onto which the other point array is superposed. Original coordinates will not be modified.

moved - point array to which the resulting transformation matrix is applied. Original coordinates will not be modified.

Returns:

transformation matrix as a Matrix4d to superpose moved onto fixed point arrays

getRmsd

public double getRmsd(javax.vecmath.Point3d[] x,
                      javax.vecmath.Point3d[] y)

Description copied from interface: SuperPosition

Calculate the RMSD between two arrays of equivalent points that are not superposed.

This is equivalent to first superposing the point arrays with SuperPosition.superposeAndTransform(Point3d[], Point3d[]) and then calculating the RMSD of the superposed point arrays with CalcPoint.rmsd(Point3d[], Point3d[]), but it will be faster when the transformation matrix is not needed.

The two point arrays have to be of the same length and the order of points have to be the same, so that a specific position in the one array is equivalent to the same position in the other array.

Parameters:

x - an array of points. Original coordinates will not be modified.

y - an array of points. Original coordinates will not be modified.

Returns:

the minimum RMSD between the equivalent point arrays (after superposition)
