Procrustes transformation
From HandWiki
Short description: Geometric operation
A Procrustes transformation is a geometric transformation that involves only translation, rotation, uniform scaling, or a combination of these transformations. Hence, it may change the size, position, and orientation of a geometric object, but not its shape.
The Procrustes transformation is named after the mythical Greek robber Procrustes[1] who made his victims fit his bed either by stretching their limbs or cutting them off.
