Transforming a state's covariance by a rotation and translation

mediumsubjective

Asked in interviews

You have a state estimate with mean x and covariance P (say a 2D/3D position). The state is transformed rigidly by a rotation R and translation T: x' = R x + T. How does the covariance transform, and why does the translation not appear?
