**TLDR:** A family of operations that rearranges image coordinates to apply scaling, rotation, translation, and perspective changes.

<p>Geometric transformations are used in computer vision for preprocessing, augmentation, and alignment. Operations such as scaling, rotation, translation, affine transforms, and perspective correction all belong to this family. They play a foundational role in document rectification, camera calibration, OCR, and object alignment tasks. In many cases, proper spatial consistency depends on data geometry quality even before model architecture enters the picture.</p>
