The transformation of a covariance matrix $C$ from reference frame 1 to reference frame 2 is described as



beginequation
C_2 = R_12C_1R_12^T
endequation



using the (orthogonal) transformation matrix $R_12$, where the superscript $T$ denotes the transpose. In this case, I know what $C_2$ is and I want to find $C_1$. How do I use these transformation matrices in order to get $C_1$?

    So how does that look like mathematically? I am not sure on the notation... Would the equation then be $C_1$ = $R_12^TC_2R_12$?

Isolate $C_1$ by multiplying by the appropriate inverses on both sides: $$C_1 = R_12^-1C_2R_12^-T$$ and then, since $R_12$ is orthogonal so that $R_12^-1=R_12^T$, $$C_1 = R_12^TC_2R_12.$$
