Lasenby: Geometric algebra eliminates trial-and-error matrix hacks in computer vision
“If people have worked with computer vision, they will know that often things don't work. So instead of a rotation matrix R, they try R transpose. And instead of a translation vector T, they try R transpose T. And they mess around until it works because it's ki…”
