DECOMPOSITION
polar
Compute the polar decomposition.
Example of usage
Factorise a labelled industrial sensor calibration matrix and verify reconstruction.
Usage / limitations
+Use when: Separate rotation from deformation in transformations.
−Limitations: Matrix shape, symmetry, conditioning and numerical precision constrain validity.
Mathematical formula
A = UP, U unitary and P positive semidefinite.
