Implement a function to generate an n×n identity matrix, a fundamental concept in linear algebra. The identity matrix is crucial in various mathematical operations, including matrix multiplication and transformation.
The identity matrix I is defined such that when it multiplies another matrix A, the result is the original matrix A. This property makes the identity matrix the multiplicative identity for matrices. The elements of the identity matrix can be defined using the Kronecker delta δij, where δij=1 if i=j and δij=0 otherwise.
To construct the identity matrix, follow these steps:
This technique is widely used in computer vision for image and signal processing.
