From 8f1ab30b6a26a5ba0cd2b26212ef11234a028990 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Corke Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 10:31:54 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] perf(base): speed up isR/ishom/ishom2 orthogonality checks np.linalg.det/norm and np.eye carry large dispatch overhead relative to the actual work for 2x2/3x3 matrices, dominating SE3/SO3 constructor cost when check=True. Replace with explicit cofactor- expansion determinants and a squared Frobenius residual for the 2x2 and 3x3 cases (falling back to the generic path otherwise), and replace the bottom-row `all(... == np.array(...))` checks in ishom/ishom2 with direct scalar comparisons. ~2x faster isR, ~30-40% faster SE3(T, check=True) construction.
