TranslateImage2d
Translates a two-dimensional image by a user-defined vector.
Access to parameter description
This algorithm re-assigns the position of the image on the grid according to user-defined vectors. During a translation, there are usually two phenomena: part of the image is out of the bounding box, while another part has no values, as illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Translation of an image
A translation is denoted by a vector $(t_x,t_y)$. A pixel M of coordinates (x,y) is translated to the new coordinates in the output image as: $$ \left\{\begin{matrix}x'=t_x+x\\y'=t_y+y\end{matrix}\right. $$ or using matrix notation: $$ \begin{bmatrix}x'\\y'\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}t_x\\t_y\end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix} $$ The output image is a discrete space of finite dimensions where the new X and Y coordinates may be outside the image.
There are two possible ways to manage data out of the bounding box:

There are two possible ways to manage data out of the bounding box:
- The information moved outside of the image area is lost, and a padding value is assigned to the blank
area counterpart.
Figure 2. Translation of an image in FIXED mode - The image is perceived as a cylinder, where the information outside the image area wraps around and is placed in the blank area.
