Is it possible to calculate the shift vector of two vector?

101 Views Asked by At

I'm working on some image processing tasks and I'm required to calculate the 'shift vector' of two feature vectors. I'm not entirely sure what 'shift vector' really means as i just came across it, but googling gave me pretty much irrelevant searches and just recently i came across this source, which i assume is mathematically defined 'shift vector'. http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~john/geometry/Lectures/A4.html

I would like to know what shift vector really does and how do i calculate the shift vector of two similar vectors.

If i have two vectors(made up),

$v_1 = (43, 20, 10)$

$v_2 = (40, 16, 8)$

Note: normally, the image feature vectors can be represented in the form:

first_feature = [34 30 10 15 27 67]
second_feature = [30 28 6 13 25 60]

Is there any formula that i could use to calculate the shift vector between the two vectors above?

I'm totally new to vectors and would appreciate some help on this.
