GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS - Image Appications of Interpolation

Author: Jennifer Mikenas

Grade Level: 9 - 12

Courses: Algebra II, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Calculus

Lesson Summary: The Geometric Transformations lesson introduces students to the image processing methods used by many photo-editing tools when transforming images. Students use knowledge of functions to interpolate, or approximate, data by hand.  Trigonometric ratios and sinusoidal functions are applied in Octave software to resize, rotate, and warp images.
