hi,
Here is a multi-dimentional ellipse:
(x-\mu)^T\Sigma(x-\mu)=c , where c is a constant, \mu is the position
\Sigma is orientation and size of the ellipse.
My question is how to model the continuous motion of this ellipse which includes Translation, Rotation and Scaling. Can it be modeled in a discrete way that (n+1)'s state depends on n's state?
Thanks a lot!
